Walt Mason's Ripping Rhymes
MY GARDEN

My garden ass begins to grow. with rlns-tailed squashes in a
row, and onion sets in line; the valued plants are looking pale, the
Brussels sprouts, the luscious kale, but weeds n doing fine. If
weeds were only good to eat, my garden plot would be a treat. a
sight for jaded eyes; If jimpson weeds were good to boil, and didn't
taste like castor OIL my crop would be a prize. IL beans would grow
like cockleburs my girls would all be wearing furs. and loaded with
long groen; and I'd be strictly up to date and ride around the town
in state in my own limousine. If cabbageheads would only thrive, as
thstles do, and keep alive in times of drouth or food, / might enjoy
this sowing seeds, and wrestling with the husky weeds, and clawing
in the mud. i have to coax tomato plants protect them from the
bugs and ants, and shield them from the sun; I have to nurse them
day by day, and then they wilt and fade away, their course too
quickly run My beans have gone to kingdom come, the radshes
are on the bum, they shrv@ed in two days; but gorgeously the milk
weeds grow; if they were worth two cents a throw they'd be blamed
hard to raise.

JEWISH LANDMARKS IN SPAIN
New Communities Being Established.

New Communities Being Established.
In many big towns in Spain there
are beautiful remains of the ancient
Jewries, the streets and buildings hav-
ing been preserved intact to this day.
There are, for instance, several fine
residences which belonged to wealthy
Jews before 1892, especially the tow
beautiful synagogues in Toledo, with
their Hebrew inscriptions. In Cordova,
an important part Of the old Jewish
quarter still exists, and there is
beautiful little synagogue with in
scriptions around the building, which
is situated in a street named Gale
Maimonides. In Seville there are four
churches which were formerly syna-
gogues. One of the most beautiful
Jewries is that of Cordova, the birth
place of Maimonides, (Ramban). 1t
is built in a fine Gothic style, and the
old communal house is now used as a
school. In Saragossa there are whole
streets of the old Jewry still preserv-
ed with the residences of wealthy jew
ish denizens. Another old Jewry is
that of Pontevedra, which is supposed
to have been the town where the al
legged Jewish forebears of Columbus
lived. All these places will prove at
tractive to Jewish visitors, especially
to those of Spanish descent, because
there is no doubt they will pick up
old associations. There are thousands
of Spanish families bearing Jewish
names, and they know they are of
Jewish extraction. Several members
of the Spanish nobility are also of
Jewish origin, though these are now
fanatical Catholics. 1t is very re-
markable that the Jewish type is
even still preserved with such purity
in those ports of Spain which have

large Jewish communities, especially
Andalusia and Catalonia. Never can
one see in Europe such beautiful types
of women with their wonderful eyes,
natural elegance, and most attractive
elasticity and dignity as are to be
found in Seville and Granada.
Up to sixty or seventy years ago
there were no Jews living in Spain.
About 1860, owing to the war in Mo-
rocco, several Jewish families settled
in Ceville and they formed little
community there with a synagogue.
This was the first community in Spain
since the expulsion. Unfortunately,
during the recent war, several of
these families went back to Morocco
for business purposes, and communal
life in Ceville was temporarily inter
rupted.
A community on larger scale has
lately been founded in Barcelona, and
this promises to be the most import
ant one in Spain. Almost all the
Jewish war refugees who came to
Spain settled in Barcelona. Although
it is possible that after conditions be-
come settled several of the refugees
will leave Spain, the communities will
still flourish.-Jewish Daily News.

CODDLING THE SLACKER

Some grotesque things are happen
ing in connection with the demobiliza-
ton of American soldiers. Take an
every day occurrence at Camp Funs-
ton as an instance.
The loyal soldier who has fought in
France must buy his own civilian cloth
ing when he comes out of the army.
He can keep his uniform for few
months if he desires, but most men
want to get back into a civilian outfit.
So he is discharged without his old time
clothing allowance and spends what he
has saved from his pay with the clothier
At Camp Funston they have large
number of conscientious objectors,"
and mingled with these are others, pa
rading themselves as |. w. W., 'Inter-
national Socialists" and plain disloyal-
lists. Be it remembered that the honest
conscientious obiector' is rare bird
in these camps.
These beings were drafted into the
army. They wouldn't drill, they would
not wear uniform, they wouldn't
bathe and their uncleanliness was
nauseating. They were, and are, dis
loyalists, traitors, many of them
creatures Of that Potsdam gang that is
no more.
Nevertheless, when these gentry are
discharged from the army they are
taken by representative OF the gov
ernment and given full outfit of cloth
ing, hat, suit, shoes, socks, underwear,
shirt, collar, gloves and even a necktie!
They have been drawing their $50 a
month army pay, the same pay that a
loyal American fighting man was given.
Furthermore, there is no record that
any OF these Collectors" even objected
to drawing that $50 per- Of course
every man of them got 'dishonorable
discharge, conduct bad" when they
were let go. That worries them not at
all. They managed to keep their
precious hides out of sharpnel range
while the better men died. -
Our War Department has done some
strange things. Just what strange
force, working under cover in Wash
ington, has permitted these things, no
one seems to know. Just what power
it was that brought the summary dis
charge of number of Funston officers
because they had attempted to make
these creatures keep themselves clean
and obey the simplest routine has never
been even partially explained. If Con-
gress wants subject of investigation,
the delicate and tender solicitude offer

jector in the army camps offers some.

Purebred HeiferS
Make Good
Farmers of East Jordan Vicinity
Investing In Blooded Stock.

Not quite year ago Frank and
Harry Behling made a trip to Howell,
Livingston County, and purchased five
head OF purebred Holsteins, four
heifers ranging in age from fifteen
months to two years in age and a
heifer calf. Three of the heifers have
freshened within the past month and
have been officially tested for advanced
registry in the official herd book of the
Associations.
While this was Mr.. Behring'S first eX-
perience in testing work, he has secur-
ed very creditable records, one heifer
having produced 1922 pounds of milk
which produced l6. 76 pounds of butter.
the second produced 1862 pounds of
milk and 1876 pounds OF bu ter while
the third produced 346.5 pounds OF
milk and 1886 pounds of butter.
b. Mr.. Behling is so well pleased with
these heifers that he is thinking Of
purchasing some more and is planning
to attend the Central Michigan Holstein
Breeders sale which is to be held at
East Lansing, next week. Some of the
other farmers in Mr.. Behling's neigh
borhood are also planning on purchas-
ing some purebred heifers and cows in
the near future and it is quite possible
that they will attend the sale at East
Lansing and that car of purebred
animals will be brought in at this time.
