ORIGINAL CANE WAS
USED FOR DEFENSE
est. Louis Globe-Democrat,

Est. Louis Globe-Democrat
Originally a cane was a branch of
a tree, sometimes used as a club for
defense. at other times as a crutch
In modern times no one needs
club for protection. since it is at
best very crude weapon, and fee Die
men who need a cane for support
are very rarely met with But
canes are carried almost universally
because it is the fashion.
The Mexicans first used canes in
America. When the Spanish con-
quered the country, a queer custom
was introduced. The chief executive
of the towns carried a stick with a
gold or silver head. 1t was a kinu
of scepter
The people, of course. rarely knew
how to read or write, and when any
one was wanted for a crime, one Ct
the mayors subordinates would take
the cane, find the culprit and place
it horizontally upon the latter's chest.
The proceeding was equivalent to
appear before the mayor under the
penalty Of being cast into prison.
This action was borrowed from
Spain, where it still prevails in the
more important actions.
The cane of early American his
tory, like that of biblical times, was
part of the repertory of the leaders
of the church. 1t was the principal
badge of the deacon.
The cane was about five feet long.

WEED MONEY IS
USED ON ROADS

That users of the county highway
would prefer having the chuckholes
filled than the sides of the road freed
from weeds is the opinion of the board
OF supervisors.
Some time ago the question of using
sheep to Craze the highways was put
to the board and the plan was not
considered advisable
The county engineer agrees with the
board in that there are more practical
ways of spending the county money
on good roads.
THE county does not feel justified
in making the experiment" said En-
gineer Harold Bargman yesterday.
1.-The expenditure would be great and
the result questionable. The sum for
the sheep and herders could well be
spent for road improvements While
would like to see the roads free of sun
flowers, Johnson grass and other
weeds. still | think the money could be
better employed in keeping up the
roads,"
