Billy Beard
Al G. FieL Ids
Laugh Leader

One who has made a study of laughs
writes: THE Italian laugh is languid
but musical and most often heard when
the laughter Is doing business. The
French laugh is spasmodic, uncertain
and artificial,
THE upper classes Of the English
nation laugh ~guardedly, the lower class
eXplosively; the Chinese and Japanese
laugh Is more of q litter than an out
burst'of merriment; the American laugh
Is an outburst of humor that cannot be
mistaken"
Those who went overseas to entertain
u soldier boys had opportunity to
study laughs of different n~ationalities.
Billy Beard. the leading comedian
with AL G.. Field minstrels, claims the
| spontaneous character Of the laughter
Of the people Of Yankee land Is the
most infectious of that Of any nation
atty, The fact that Americans seem to
grasp the point of a joke more readily
than others is the cause of general
and responsive laughter Of the Ameri-
can people. When you visit the min
strels note the laughs Of different per-
son 1t is an interesting study.

High Food Prices

High food prices for many months to come. This is the unmistakable indiea- tion at the present time, according to G. Howard Davison, speaking for the Ma tional Agricultural society.
 Some lines of foods may show a de- cline,' MT. Davison said, "but to sta pies, Americans can make up their mind that the world demand is strictly in control of prices and that this condition will endure for a long time to come.
 "The end of the war has brought lit tie or no relief. Food prices are just as largely under the control Of the Eu- ropean situation as they were year ago. It is true there are enough hogs com ing into the markets just now to bring about decline in the price of meats and fats if conditions were usual, and it is likewise true that the present out look is for a surplus of wheat i'll the spring But the government says the minimum price for wheat and hogs must not be lowered et..
 eThe government, fully conscious that the, appalling scarcity of foodstuffs abroad will exist for many months, clearly is continuing it's policy of main taining high price levels in order to stin- ulate production to the utmost. Few will dispute the far-sighted wisdom of this' policy"

Fake Edible Gourds

Department of agriculture ofnclals again warn farmers and gardeners not to be fooled by extravagant claims in advertisements of two varieties or edible gourds, long known but little grown in this country, which ara treated in the advertisements as put ter beans" of rare quality and hiSn productivity Vague but glowing ana extravagant claims are made for them.
 The food value of these gourds IS similar to that of summer squash' ac- cording to department officials, ana they are interesting as curlosltles' put have slight practical worth.
 The name. Gigantic New Guinea But ter bean, has been loaded onto the Cucutza of sweet gourd. It is frequent ly found in Italian vegetable gardens and is offered in the markets of New Orleans, but is considered of such It. tie value that seedSmen rarely give II notice. It has been reported to the department that this so-called new bean has been offered at extravagant prices, for example, 6 of the guord seeds for 50 cents, or 16 for $1.
 The Snake of Solomon Island gourd also has been renamed in certain ad- vertisements as Guala bean. This gourd can be grown only in warm climates and is adapted to rather linn ited regions in the southern part oi the United States.

Community canning kitchens are solving the economic problem faced in many homes of little help, plenty of canning material, and desire to utilize all food material
 In a community canning kitchen, where apparatus too expensive to be owned by an individnual family is to be found, much more work can be done in less time than in an ordinary kitchen. The spirit of comradeship. cooperation. and good natured rivalry found there also helps to make the work easier and more pleasant than when performed In the isolation of an individual kitchen. With the ndorsement given them by home demonstration agents under the department of agriculture, inA connec- tion with state agricultural colleges, their number is rapidly increasing in every state in the union:
 In Norfolk county, Massachusetts, eight community canning kitchens have been successfully operating during the past summer. The vital problem of the Kitchens was that of the volunteer help. The success of the enterprise depends on the quality of the help which comes Ito operate the kitchen.

Cheerful Farmhouse

Apart from the esthetic value. to be derived from it, beautifying the farm dwelling, undermining it's equipment, is good business. It is an investment that brings profitable returns. The farmer ana his family need wholesome relaxation just as much as any persons constantly em- ployed The home should be the place in which to obtain it.
 An attractive dwelling with an inviting approach acts as magnet on the tired toiler. The sight of flowers and a we'll kept lawn is relief from the drab clods of the plowed field, the brightness of the blossoms a chance from the sameness in the color of growing crops.

Sheep and Dogs

There is disposition to increase sheep pr oduction in Nebraska. The tendency should be encouraged, for sheep growing is an economical form of farming. We haven't one much of it in agricultural Nebraska because we haven't needed to watch the corners very closely. With older and more settled conditions we shall have to hew closer to the economy line. That will doubtless mean more sheep.
 Say sheep and you come to dogs. Sheep dogs, unregulated dogs, are natural ene- mics. One sheep killingf dog in a com n.unity may wipe out the years profit from sheep in that community. The new governor recognized the sheep grower S dog problem by recommending laws to take the dogs in hand as an encourage ment to sheep growing.
 Let nothing be said here in derogation of the dog as dog. As long as men in habit the earth there will be dogs to help make the earth habitable for men. i, A good dog is one of the noblest works of creation. He makes a better friend than some men-better than any man, the cynic will say Good company, faithful guardian, useful servant; the dog is no more to be banished than air and water. Yet the sheep farmer must be protected.
 That can be done without injustice to
 
 lpeIsable friends does not mean that the W ord needs to be filled with dogs. A dog out of place, like anything else out of place, is nuisance. The irresponsible dog the stray dog, the undisciplihed dog, the dog whose whereabouts at night are unknown to his owner, has no claim on our support. If we are ever to be able to wear wool clothes again. these degrees of surplus dogs must be got rid of In hov all dnUS tn he licensed and tagged.
