Leave Their Tails Behind Them.

Most of the reptiles Of the Colorado
are colored like their surroundings, and
are difficult to detect. Others can
change their colOrs to suit their sur
roundlngs while not few Of the des-
ert lizards are able to part with their
tails very readily when they are
seized. There is humor In the ways
Of desert tortolses. When one meets
another-unless both are males. when
fight inevitably fakes pl0ce-each
mods its head rapidly up and down as
though In salutatlon, and sometimes
noses are touched as they pass.

LEAGUE; /; CHIEFS
ARIElS'jOClALlSTS, )
Says Rev. F. H. Ambrose In
Sermon at Presbyterian :
4: Church.

Farmers and other people Of North
Dakota members Of the Nonpartisan
league have been mislabeled as So
cialists. bolsheviki and revolutionists,
splendid type OF true Americans. ac-
cordtng to Rev. F.. Halsey Ambrose
who delivered a strong sermon on the
topic is the Nonpartisan League a
Farmers Movement at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday evening.
In the course Of his sermon Rev.
Ambrose showed case after case in
mot actually ruling the misnamed
league by showing that farmers did
not, hold the: big state Offices or posi-
lions of responsibility and that farm
srs$were not theSones who are draw.
ing down the "fat salaries"
He. then went on and showed that,
Townley and thirty-one OF his organ
thatit was through these men and
others who had been handed the po-
sitions that farmers should have held,
had brought about the false brandin.
of the farmer of North Dakota as a
Vocalist. bolsheviki and revolution

ago of asking the legislature for
things they! never received, the pastor
declared:s and. Townley came into. the
state at the psychological moment
and promised the farmers a utopia, a
rule Of the farmer by the farmer and
for the farmer, and the farmers in
DESPERATION supported the league.
Briefly the remainder of the SER
mon follows: North Dakota farmers
elected.their senator's and representa-
ttves who went to Bismarck a few
years ago to make their laws. They
We're pledged to put their support be-
hind any party that would grant
their requests At Bismarck they
discovered a person who, had not
been elected by the farmers and they
found many other persons who had
not been elected by the farmers. die
tatins the moves to be made.
They found steering committed.
to pass on bills and they found the
invisible circle" and beyond that the
leaders comprising but one farmer,
one ex-farmer. (who had made a FAM
ure Of farming and so considered
himself in a position to advise farm
ers) and three lawyers-none of them
elected by the. league.
FARMERS OF the state have about
as little control over what was once
theirs as they have over the sun,
moon and stars the pastor declared
IN showing that the league Of honest
farmers: had passed into the control
Of convicted socialists.
Loyal Stand Praised.
The. loyal stand of the farmers dur
ing the war in furnishing their time,
money, lands. sons and women to
support the government. was recalled
by Rev. Ambrose in his statement
that they had been mislabeled
through the socialists who by "hook
and crook" had secured power in the
state. The sum and substance of the
sermon was to the effect that the
Nonpartisan league was no longer a
farmers movement as 1t had passed
from the control Of farmers into the
control Of socialists and revolution
lists.

AVIATOR PLAYS WITH BIRDS.


Dallas, Tex. Dec. 2s.-wfld geese
cannot compete with the airplane in
speed nor in maneuvering, and the
pigeon. swiftest of the winged crea-
lures, is out-classed by the flying men,
aviators here declare, and hunters
corroborate their statements.
To prove his ship faster than the
wild geese, one aviator climbed into
the sky and few around a great "
shaped drove flying north. The geese
at first held their formation, but when
the plano was but a few yards from
them they became panic-stricken. AS

Of the geese folded their wings and
dropped like plummets toward the

airplane they flattened out but each
time the aviator approached they

An aviator dare not dash into a

would wreck his plane. Accidents due
to collision with birds in air have
wrecked airplanes and in at least two
cases caused the death Of the pilots.

SIR COOPER BECOMES
LONDON LORD MAYOR
AMID ROUS|NC PONP

| London, Nov. Omitted Press)-
Sir Edward Ernest Cooper today was
installed Lord Mayor of London with
the civic pomp and ceremony which
has been handed down from the mid
die ages. Once more that hoary an
achronism, the Lord Mayors Show
dislocated the normally badly con
gested traffic of the city for some four
hours, but as usual Londoners turned
out in huge crowds for the annual
pageant. sasW
The Saturday half-holiday increased
the normal crowds, and there was ex-
ira jollification over it's being the
first SHOW since the armistice.
The show" contained few new
features, being comprised of the usual
detachments of London volunteer
regiments, but this year there was a
notable display of war ribbons among
the marchers and the cannon turned
out by the City of London Royal Field
Artillery were among those which lit
tie more than year ago had been
laundering at the gates of Jerusalem
The crowds lining the sidewalks gave
these veterans a vociferous welcome
ana there was much civic pride dis
played over the banners borne by
other citizen battalions, ranners now
inscribed with the names of many q
field in France, Belgium, Italy
Salonika, Palestine and Mesopotamia
Tonight there will be the customary
civic banquet at the Mansion House,
at which Premier Lloyd George and
other leading statesmen will speak.
Sir Edward Cooper is we'll known
musician, being chairman OF the COM
mittee Of the Royal, Academy Of
Music. The salary Of the Lord Mayor
for his year Of office is $4,000, but
he generally has to spend about five
or six times that amount. Cooper's
predecessor, Sir Horace Marshall,
probably had to spend half a million
dollars during the past year owing to
peace celebrations.
