Modernizlnq the Roundup.

Each year seems to give the auto
mobile a new hold on life. The war
brought 1t to the forefront In a new
field. The soldier OF the present day
seldom makes long forced marches
like Sherman's march to the sea He
travels by motor car As a result the
automobile casualty list is tremen-
dous; the average life OF a car in the
battle lines is estimated at thirty days
But It is not only the war zone that
has lost part OF its picturesqueness
through the use OF the automobile.
the latter has begun to rob the an
nual cattle roundup of some OF its
thrills by replacing the horse This
year has seen the ubiquitous car with
cowboy at Its wheel on our western
prairies discouraging the cattle from
attempts to escape from the ever-nar-
rowing circle in the roundup Many a
steer which has given a COW horse
run must feel disconnected when It
bucks up against the four-wheeled
steed.-Wall Street Journal

The good man had just been in

Having been assured on these
points the good man turned to his
paper, only to be interrupted by his
young son and heir:
Father" asked the boy, what is
a vacuum and where can ! find one?"
My boy" replied the good man. IF
We are TO assume that your mother is
qualified to speak on the subject,
possess the only real vacuum in the

my collar and the glossy open space
where used to grow hair
