Why Lions Roar ls at Last Discovered
hv = Scientiat

The eminent English naturalist, Sir
Richard Owen. made the interesting
discovery that the lion roars simply
because the hyOid bone in his throat is
loose In the cat this bone is station
airy. and therefore the cat purrs and
cannot roar. but in the lion and tiger
the hyoid is loose. and even when call
ing to their mates the larger members
of the cat family. including the leopard
and jaguar, roar.
The roars of the jaguar and leopard
are like hOarse, barking coughs. An
interval Of about one second separates
the exploratory effort" says Sir Rich
ard The cheetah and the puma are
like the domestic cat; their hyoid bones
are firmly set in place, and they can

MONTGOMERY COUNTY
BOY WRITES POEM

The following poem was written
by Mr.. Arthur Williamson, a Mont
gomery county boy stationed at
Camp Zachary Taylor:
No more ham and eggs or grapefruit
When the whistle blows for chow,
No more apple pie and dumphns,
For we are in the army now.
And they feed us beans for breakfast
AMI at noon we eat them too,
And at night they fill our bellies
With good old army stew.
No more fizz or beer or high balls
When we get an awful thirst,
II you are thinking of eniisting
Best get used to water first.
For the lid is tight all over
And the drilling makes us warm,
And we can't get cooled off on liquor
Cause we wear the uniform.
No more shirts of silk or linen,
For we wear 0. ID. stuff.
No more night shirts or pajamas,
For our pants are good enough.
No feather ticks or pillows,
But we are glad TO thank the Lord
That we have got a cot and blanket
When we might have .jost board.
But, by jinks we will lick the Kaiser
When the Regulars teach us how,
For, damn him, he is the reason,
We are in the army now.

It was reported in the daily press
Of last week that the railroad com
pariies had announced that they
would not accept turkey and geese
shipments in carload lots except at
the shippers risk, and owing to the
extreme shortage the dealers are
cup in the air. so TO speak as to
what arrangements to make. We
understand that Armour's man was
in this city few days ago and ad-
vised dealers not to pay an ex-
tremely high price for turkeys rs
the crop in Texas was very large
and it was the belief Of the Eastern
dealers that The people would not
use anything like the number they
had used in other years owing to the
disposition of the people to make
Thanksgiving a fast day instead OF
feast day. Many dealers suffered
severe loss last year owing to
the people refusing to buy at the
then prevailing high prices.
The following is a copy Of tele
gram sent to the Southern Poultry
& Fog Shippers Convention. at At
lanta, Ga, Oct. 22nd, but was not
delivered:
"1n view of the shortage of meat
and the great need of an adequate
supply in helping 10 win the war YOU
are urged for patriotic reasons to
slaughter no turkeys until fully ma
tured. Needless for us to tell you
shippers that this should be done,
but suggest that you give our sug-
gestion the widest publicity so that
farmers will not market birds not
fully matured.
