ARRIVED! - WHAT? - BURRO
STEAK

1t has come at last. What? Why,
burro steak. Old timers and pros

days were numbered. He is gradu-
ally taking back seat for the Henry

will ever be popular and his young
friend will shed real tears when he
learns that his silent CD pal is pass

ISOLATION in believing that every burro
slaughtered means that much toward
helping win the war.

ket was opened in Goldfield and is
said to be doing thriving business.

to be outdone. killed a burro and
tried a burro steak He liked it so
well that he passed some of the meat
around among his friends Some
were rather reluctant about trying
it, while othes pronounced it "as good
as beef

burro eating an old shoe, a Sunday
newspaper and part of an auto tire,

BONE DRY LAW DOES
NOT BAR ALTAR WINE
Oklahoma Carrier Forced to Accept
Shipment for Priest.

Oklahoma City, May 22.-The Ok
lahoma bone dry statute of 1917 leg
islature does not prohibit common
carriers transporting wine for sac
ramental purposes, according to a
decision of the supreme court yes
terday. The court decided the case
of the Rev. Urban de Hasque OF the
city against the Santa Fe, in which
a mandamus was sought to require
the railroad to carry shipment OF
sacramental wine from this city to
Catholic priest in Guthrie.
The Oklahoma county district
cout refused to grant the writ. The
high court reversed the lower court
and directs the lower court to grant
the relief sought.
The case is one OF more than
statewide Importance because it IS
the first to come up under bone dry
statutes. The plaintiff contended
that to deprive them OF the, use OF
altar wine would be to deny the
right of a practice in divine worship
that had existed as long as the
church.
