he Worlds Wonders - Scientific
Men Puzzled.

A human mind mysteriously trans
ferred to the brain of horse may
seem a little far fetched; but this is
exactly what has been accomplished
by Prof. Van Rankin of Germany,
who educated Forrest Tempest, the
king of educated horses; while this
horse does not exactly talk, but with
humane intelligence demonstrating a
thinking mind and soul, he reads,
writes and spells, and taking piece
of chalk between his teeth marks
more perfect figures than the aver
age person. He actually adds, sub
tracts, multiplies and divides any
number. This is but one of the
many features with the Famous Mont
gomery Queens Dog and Pony
Shows. The beautiful Shetland pom
les in statuary poses, drills and march
es. the performing elephants and wild
animal exhibits. together with the
worlds greatest lady and gentleman
performers makes the Montgomery
Queens Show stand in class by
themselves. This famous show will
exhibit at Rocky Ford for two per-
formances on Wednesday, May Is.

cHARLINE's SECRET
She has written this day down in her heart,
As the best In all the season;
Fr-m all the others she has set 1t apart
But will not tell the reason.
That Is her secret-she need not tell.
And the day she will always remember
For never before. know full well.
Was the earth so full Of spiendor.
She sings at her labors the whole day long.
And her heart is light as u feather,
But there is reason for her glad song
Besides the beautiful weather.
But she will not tell IL and though
That thrush in the maple tree heard 1t.
He would shout IL aloud IL he only dared.
But he hasn't the power to word 1t.
To Charline In the Fall came one.
Who told her the sweetest stories,
He said she had stolen er hair from the sun.
Her eyes from the morning glories.
Now you may say. she must not believe
word men say. for they flatter.
But am sure he would ne'er deceive.
For he told her Well, no matter,
Last Spring she was sad and the world to her
Seemed lonely and dreary dwelling,
But someone then had not asked her to be
There now. am almost telling.
Not another word will my two lips say,
will close them tight together.
And never n mortal shall know why-to-dny
Her heart is light as a feather.
But whatever her secret we wish her the best
That the world can give her,
May gladness and sunshine be always her
guest
Though she live in the East or the Golden
West. B.S.K.

FAMILY TELEPHONE
ORGANIZATION

Modern conditions have
brought about the need for
what might be called a long
distance telephone organiza-
ton of the family. when
in doubt. telephone" is an
axiom that ought to be i'm
pressed upon every member
Of the family going on a
journey. or to live at a dis
tance. The mother can reach
her children at school. and
children should be required
to telephone home occas-
ionaIly. When husband or
wife set out on a journey a
telephone itinerary should be
jotted down and left behind.
Members of the family
travelling should not be con-
tent with providing means by
which those left at home
may reach them quickly, but
should communicate with
the home frequently: and
particularly when there is
bad weather. transportation
delay, disturbance Of public
order. or any other unusual
condition where the traveller
happens to be. Bad news
flies fast. and is magni6ed by
distance. These things cause
apprehension at home.
No other medium conveys
the personal assurance and
causes such peace of mind
asthe long distance telephone
talk can give.

some LAWS THAT
ARE FOUND IN The
new STATE CODE

The editor of the Carson Appeal
has been digging into the new code
and has unearthed some good laws
now on the statute books. 1t is
found that the sale of tobacco to the
minors is stringent. 1t is unlawful
to sell to any minor any tobacco
of any description or cigarette pa
pers or cigarettes without a writ
ten order to be kept on file by the
party selling same. The merchant
violating this provision shall be
fined and imprisoned in the county
jail and his license forfeited. The
justice finding such merchant
guilty shall tax the merchant $50,
which shall go to the informant
Vt is unlawful to employ minor
as a bartender and is punishable by
fine and Imprisonment.
Another new law which will not
! bother the average citizen in the
regulating of the sale of horse meat
as substitute for beef. If the
price of beef keeps crawling up the
scale, this law will have a kinR
taken in it. 1t is unlawful to sci
horse meat without so posting the
fact and telling the customer and
such a merchant is subject to prose
eution under a misdemeanor charge
1t is unlawful to sell adulterateC
or doctored milk. AS it is also un
lawful to sell impure water, thu
two should go together. The mill
dealer can sell SKINNED milk |
he so advertises the fact.
