They Are All Sacred and Hence They
Have the Right of Way-Crows,
Snakes and Monkeys Also Sacred.
The JeweIry Fad.
Four things in India are held sacred
cows, crows, snakes and monkeys
says Homer Croy in Leslies How
they came to select these above all 9th
ers to put on the sacred list Is more
than any one knows.
You would have to hunt long time
to find anything homelier than a sacred
cow. The sacred cows are of soiled
white, and they have long, dropping
jackrabbit ears and camels' humps on
their necks just where the collar but
ton would come. They look about as
sacred as corn shelter.
These cows wander up and down the
street, and when they come to a gro
Gerry they calmly begin eating the vege
tables Oh display. The grocer cannot
drive them away, for they are sacred.
All he can do is to stand there with
plaintive, pleading expression in his
eyes and hope that the cow is not feel
ing well.
From one grocery to another they
take the middle of the sidewalk. They
won't turn out under any considera-
tion-they've got to have the middle
of the sidewalk. 1t takes the last rem
nant of my gentlemanly instincts ito
step out into the gutter to let COW
pass. 1 just>itch to get my hands on
club. If l could there'd be an awful
conclusion on about the fourth sacred
floating rib.
Ponder over it as may, have new
err been able to figure out why any
body who hasn't been out in the sun
too much should pick crow to hold
sacred. One would think that If they
were going to pick any bird to hold
sacred they would select beautiful
one, for India has hundreds of beauti-
full birds, and by no wild leap OF the
imagination could crow be called
pretty.
I thought our American crows were
homely, but they are beautiful along
side the Bombay crows. The Bombay
crows are the dirtiest, greasiest, most
dilapidated looking birds ever saw in
my life. They take full advantage OF
their sacredness. They will swoop
down and pull vegetables out of bas-
ket person is carrying and will come
hopping in and drag things off the Ia
BILE, especially things that will spot the
carpet, but one cannot touch them, for
they are sacred.
And they retire so late at night!
They dearly loved to sit on limb out
side my window and engage in scandal
and gossip until late hour in harsh
voices until / would give anything If
before 1 left Missouri had packed
shotgun.
AS for sacred snakes, India produces
some fine ones, but they are in the
same class as are the sacred crows
with me.
Monkeys are in class by themselves,
and when one playfully losses tile
from the roof at my head I miss that
shotgun more than ever.
Another curious thing in India is the
jewelry fad.

mon than the sin of overdrinking.
Gluttony. always a fault, is all the
more glaring in land where plen-
tiful food supply permits it to be more

aching Joints and irascible temper of

Diet however. is a really serious
matter, and many people suffer as
much from dietary eccentricities and
food fads as from actual disease The
average individual can eat good, plain,
wholesome food in moderation all his
life without ever being aware that he
has digestive apparatus. Starvation
to cure a fancied ailment or to reduce
an expansive waist line has shortened
many lives, just as indiscretion in the
opposite direction. Certain diseases do
require a particular diet. but this

Primitive Sense of Humor.

Its Vogue In the Movies Due to Our
Primitive Sense of Humor.
After the comic pursuit picture
movie directors were at their wits end
until the most famous impresario of
knockabOut fun invented the motif of
the custard pie. A custard pie bonn
bardment has two very strong elements
Of humor concealed in its action. One
Is surprise, and the other is messiness.
There are lots of nice people who think
it is vulgar and outrageous to laugh at
such elemental humor, yet there is
something fundamentally funny In see
ing body's face projected through the
soft goo Of a custard pie.
If you do not believe this try it some
day on your neighbor when he pushes
his head over the fence to say good
morning or to borrow the lawn mower.
Hit him full on, butter side out, with
a custard pie and see whether the re-
suit is not funny or tragic. A hair Of
ten divides the two. If you make this
experiment you will learn that only
complete bullseye is funny. If the pie
should hit on the edge or only partial
ly break, the joke is held in suspense
and spoiled. but if you moon him" /
assure you the neighbors for miles
round will all laugh. My, the number
Of custard pies that we have wasted
while one of the comedians perfected
his technic and aim! A good custard
pie thrower is invaluable in the comics.
1t is queer that the pie must be custard.
This same director also invented the
comedy police, who have had more
trouble with the real police than any
actors on the screen. The humor of
the wild exploits of these volatile Off
GERS of the law is based upon two
motifs. One is the collapse of dignity,
and the other is kid desire in the
hearts of nearly all of us to see author
ity get it in the neck.-Rob Wagner in

IRON RIVER
Pioneer

At a recent meeting of the Di-
rectors of the Iron River CONNER
cial Club, 1T was decided that the
Club procure a number OF views of
the country districts tributary TO
this city, for the purpose of later
using them in campaign of pub
licity. With the thoughts OF the
people gradually being taken more
and more with the war. the Club
took the position that the present is
not propitious time to inaugurate
a campaign of that character, but
the views will be gathered and neat
photographic exhibits made in con-
nection with tie agricultural and
home products display at the fall
fairs, and later attention will be
given to the printing and circula.
tion of large number of profusely
illustrated booklets descriptive
of the district.
w. E. Clubine was up from Park
Falls last Saturday. giving his per-
sonal attention to some construction
work which he is again carrying on
at his Twin Bear farm. Last year
he erected a rel forced concrete
COW barn large enough to accommo-
date 100 head of stock. but this was
the first unit, and is being and will
be added TO until the dairy plant is
a complete one in every detail.
This season two silos will be added
as we'll as some other additions, and
two hog houses, each one hundred
feet in length, are being built.
