BRITISH LION Is SCOTCH
Fergus the First of scotland Took An
imaI as Device.

The British lion is not British. after
all. in the >brOad sense. but strictly
speaking, Scottish This OF course,
sounds like contradiction, and il is.
But 1t seems that officially birds and
animals as national emblems are not
always the ones most favored or
thought by all the most appropriate.
1t is a curious condition OF things.
A writer in the London Graphic
calls AZ -ntion to the case Of the Brit
ish' lion for instance Fergus the
First Of Scotland the records show,
took the lion as a device long before
English Coeur-d Lion, while the
three little beasts in the English quar-
ters OF the national shield are properly
leopards not lions.
Nor is that all. While the English
make n pictorial parade of the lion,
they personify themselves as John
Bun" for the bun is stronger than the
lion and more consistently brave and
dignified. and 1t is to their fine cattle
the British partly owe the prosperity
which the feline monarch has done
nothing to help. Indeed, both lion and
unicorn have come out badly during
this war. An English officer has been
killed by a lion and other lions have
raided army stores of live stock in
Africa. and the rhinoceros. the real
unicorn. has shown himself more de-
cidediy pro- German by raiding motors
carving British troops, whereas bull
/ in Belgium, let loose on the approach
Of the Germans. turned on them and
slew many before he fell.
Continental nations have generally
played very strong on the eagle, which
comes down To them from Old Rome,
ana is certainly a grand type Of force.
! But, after all modern France takes
I the cock as the national bird, and not
only the pun upon gallus but the
Iknirhtlv behavior of this most gallant
| Of feathcred creatures makes II most
| typical of the great nation which has
always been in Yront. and learnt and

FARMERS ARE PAYING ALL
 OLD DEBTS THIS YEAR

Little Rock, Oct 1o.-George L. Sands, field agent of the Agricultural Bureau, reports that on the occasion of recent visit to Plainview, he found that the farmers are paying up all their old debts and have money in the bank, due to the good price of cotton. Merchants were unable to supply the brisk demand for their goods Cotton was selling at 15 1-4c per pound and cottonseed at S42 per ton. There has been a total of 75O bales of cotton sold, compared with 80 bales last year for the same period. Similar conditions he found prevalent lat Ola, where the farmers are paying debts two and three years old, with all their products bringing good prices on the market.
