ARE ALMOST HUMAN
Monkeys in Their Native WiIds
Show Keen Wit.
Clever Manner in Which One of Them
Got the Best of Crocodile Is
Proof of Their Possession
of intelligence.

The nature and character of the
monkey are not changed by any train
Ing that he may receive. All the little
tricks that may be taught him in cap
tivity will add little to what he Is
accustomed to practice in his wild
state. The chief difference to him Is
that he has different set of victims
to torment. Those who have had
chance to watch the rascas in their
native wilds and native witness find
them up to the same mischievous
FRANKS they play in captivity.
Every little while our expedition
passed under trees occupied by troops
of monkeys, some of them of the large
kind that had given the explorers
much trouble on former occasion.
One large tree in which they had es-
tablished their quarters stretched its
branches over stream twenty yards
or more.
While the leader OF the expedition
was watching the antics of the mon
keys, two crocodiles showed their
heads just underneath and remained
stationary with their ugly shouts
sticking up in the air. In various
countries this is common dodge of
the crocodiles to entice the monkeys
within their reach. and 1t was eX-
pected by the witnesses Of this Incl
dent that one or more of the noisy
animals would fall victims TO the
goggle-eyed monsters below, and it
was with considerable curiosity that
the result was awaited.
As soon as the black-looking heads
popped up the monkeys became silent.
Presently one big fellow, evidently of
authority In the monkey republic,
came down to reconnolter. He re-
turned. and in few minutes came
back with long, thin stick in his
hand and accompanied by about n
hundred of his friends. They began
to chatter and TO pelt their foes, but
the crocOdiles took no notice. The
Onlookers thought they seemed to give
a wink of satisfaction at seeing their
silly victims coming within their
reach
Nearer and nearer they came, until
some of them were barely six feet
above the crOcodiles, and the men
watching We're expecting every instant
to see one of them dragged under the
water. All of sudden the monkey
with the stick leaned over and drove
it into the eye of the crocodile nearest
him. The wounded reptile sank like
lead and was quickly followed by Its
comrade.
There was no mistaking the howl ~
delight that greeted this stratagcm
and its success. Ii was perfectly hui
man in its tone and was taken up in
veugeful glee by all the monkeys in
the neighbOrhoOd. The gravity of de.
meanor with which the old fellow
committed this assault was laughabIe
in the extreme. He went to work
with all the caution of an old lawyer,
and when he had inflicted the poke he
hauled himself up with an alacrity
that showed he could form very
good estimation of the danger that
ne ran.

That the whole OF the Gilbert group

given over TO the care of the American

board had long been anxious for this

be met for ten years. The group is

WAR NOTES FOR
BADGER FARMERS

IF YOU think the farmer ought to
raise potatoes so that you won't starve
next winter, hasn't he the right to
think that you ought to eat the pota-
toes that the country asked him TO raise
last spring?
The Wisconsin dairy school received
$50 applications last year for students
wanted to work in creameries and
cheese factories; this year more appli-
cations have already been received
than can be filled.
II you can read the paper this eve
ming and still eat wheat bread, better
examine your conscience and your pa
triotism. After you've put them in
good condition you'll be eating potatoes
instead of wheat bread.
To keep our promises to the allies.
we must send millions Of bushels Of
wheat for several months. To save
that much wheat. and still keep our
selves in trim TO do our work for the
war. We must eat potatoes.

duction and marketing during the last
year through their county councils of
defense, but these counties are only
the ones which have included a gener-
Gus number of farmers in their organi-
cations.
Thirty-three counties now have agri-
cultural representatives devoting all of
their time TO agricultural production
and organization. These thirty-three
counties are prepared not only for the
war period but also for the agricul-
tural reorganization which will con-
front us when peace again comes.
Thirty-three counties are supplied
with emergency food agents for the
period of the war. But when peace
comes and the great markets of Eu-
rope are open for the importations of
wheat, meat, fats, sugar and wool
which they will all so sorely need and
for which they will make an enormous
demand these thirty-three counties will
be left without an organizing agent

supplies. Led by their eXperimenters,
her dairymen, her poultry raisers and
her gardeners are raising and storing
vast stores of the foods most needed
In the present emergency. Everyone
has known that certain foods are
scarce, plany are very high in price,
and others can scarcely he had at any
cost, but until recently many have not
recognized as great differences as
there are in the different foods.
Most housewives have been trying
to find new wa.s of keeping down the
cost of food for their families. In
doing so they are trying many new
foods and combinations, and right
here is where the work done by Pro
fessors Hart, McCollum and Steen-
book. at the University of Wisconsin,
proves of the greatest value. They
have worked out certain facts concern
ing the nutritive value of foods which
need now to be generally understood
in order that the people. and particu-
larry growing boys and girls, need not
suffer from improper selection.
ut Is very necessary that we save
food and avoid its waste" say these
experimenters, but it is probable that
In many cases high prices may lead
us TO stint ourselves on certain essen
tial foods. This condition is particu-
larly true in reference to milk.
In the fall of 1917, even though the
price of milk had not gone up so much
