Do 1T NOW, GOOD WATCHWoRD
Habit of Procrastination Has Never
Yet Failed to Bring Train of
Evils in Its Wake.

Sometime is a useful word that is
often overworked, remarks the Mil
Waukee Journal. One says, Sometime
| Will do it, but the time never comes.
Sometime is no time when a kind deed
IS TO be done. Sometime is no time
when a definite task is to be done.
"A thing put off beyond its rightful
time ~encroaches IN time allotted by
right to other duties. One may think
he is gaining time by postponing the
suty of the hour. In fact, he is vast
ing time. TOMORROW" and ever to
morrow has been the ruin of many.
DO now the thing that should be done
now. Have you had II quarrel, and are
you ready for reconciliation? DO NOT
postpone it. The other person may get
hardened in his views and become I'M
willing to be %reconciled. He may die
and leave you to a lasting regret that
you had not made friends. Would you
help someone? Do not wait till help

neighbours cattle will have found the

good watchword. Say the kind word,
do the kind deed, perform the duty Of

other French writers attribute Its in
PRODUCTION to the Jesuits OF Paraguay,
and the a~bove-named earned gastron-

owe the followers OF Loyola, the fact
that in many parts of France turkeys
are called "%Jesuits,' by reason Of the
first brood having been reared at q

hood named Bourges. This statement
is. however, decidedly at variance with
another authenticated by Montluc, who
says that the first turkey ever served

~nuptials of Charles TX. "a. D. 1870,
who ate a wing of the fowl for his sup

S%paniards introduced the turkey among

being made OF it In Europe In the year
1924. The first turkeys came to Ger

Gus.

It Is an easy matter to go to market
for your Thanksgiving turkey, but out
West they do 1t differently. Down in
the deep bottom land forests OF Arkan-
Gas is the home Of the wild turkey, and
this fall the game has been SO plentiful
and so easy to get at that hardly a
home In the States of Arkansas and
Kansas will be without its turkey din

q time when the wild turkey made his
home east Of the Alleghanies, but the

that the bird still exists at all. For
ever since the white man came all man
ner of nefarioos schemes have been
eoncocted for hts destruction.
Out in the wilds of Arkansas, where
the railroads have just begun to pene-
trate, the wild turkeys have not yet
learned that civilization has laid claim
to this land, and this fall they often
perch calmly on h branches Of trees
along the railway track. The train
crews noticed. this and engineer and
Aremen have a daily hunt Tor the game.
They sit on their engine boxes with
their shotguns in their hand while the
train ambles along at the easy rate Of
twelve miles an hour. When they run
into the turkey regions they fire at
them, and II they kill any they stop the
train. back up to the spot, and retrieve
the game. The passengers enjoy the
