Cousin Bruin is great fisherman. ana
IL very swift I'm his movements when
ne is trying to catch fish or frog.
You would be surprised to see how
Quick the movements are OF such .
clumsy creature Often Cousin Bruin
would give a lightning like pass with
his huge paw and frog or a fish
would not know what happened TO
him.
But Mr.. Jeremiah Bullfrog was no
such easy mark. When Cousin Bruin
had watched him for some time. he
felt he must wait patiently for good
chance to strike down Mr.. Frog.
Cousin Bruin can be as quiet as a
mouse. and y is vary strange to see SO
huge a creature so still and patient.
Teddy Possum and Bobby Skunk
thought there would be some fun. and
no they came up close to the water and
hid In a clump Of bushes. Jimmy Coon
talked in a low voice to Cousin Bruin
and told him that the concert would
soon begin. Then would be chance
to hunt Mr.. jeremiah Bullfrog. when
his attention was taken up with lead

While tho great American armies
that constituted the American forces
in the war are being demobiiized rem
nant OF another grand army Of the re-
public is meeting tooay In Cedar Rap
ids, where the q. A. H. Is holding its
annual state encampmcnt.
Fifty four years ago this assembly
Of old men were part OF a magnificent
army returning from victory, young
and strong and forward looking as the
boys who are coming back today. They
marched in grand review between
crowded lines of cheering thousands;

the 6. a. X. Immediately succeeding
the close OF the civil war but 10000 re-
main and they are old men TO whom a
musk,t would be n burden, a marcn OF
mile a Journey.
But they were wonderful men, those
lads who came back in the sixties TO
become the grandfathers of the won
derful men who swept the Germans
out OF France. They had done and
dared all that their grandsons have
done and dared. They had calnped in
mud and tramped in dust and fought
day and night thru weeks Of desperate
struggles across a continent. And now
all weak and withered Of their force"
they wait a time for the final de-
mobilization OF the Grand Army o: the
Republic.
This is a fortunate generation TO be
able to bid welcome TO returning
grand army that has sdcc sssfully
crushed oppression and godspeed to the
Grand Army that established freedom
as the birthright of every child to be
born on the continent Of America.
Hats off. Under the colors the one
great army arrives whilo the other
passes.

MIDDLE AGED MEDICINE,

Somebody made the assertion lately
that more people are to be found daily
on the golf grounds than in attend
mace to the baseball games
If it IL so it is a good hearing. Not
that attendance at ball games should
be discouraged but because the man
VINO plays gets something that the
man who looks on TO see others play
never gets. Something valuable and
needful
To see a good game Of baseball. 10
play pinochle at the club for an hour,
20 watch a good play develop on the
stage or on the screen is relaxation.
II 's good. But relaxation is not ex
sctly recreation. Recreation properly
includes exercise as well as absorb
ton.
Those who do manual labor need one
thing. those who lead sedentary lives
another. The sedentary and shut IN
man needs exercise. He can't live
healthily and happily without it SO
when it is said that as many or inure
people are On the golf links every day
as In attendance at ball flames It
means that men of sedentary employ
ment are out getting a new lease on
life, new energy for another days
work, increasing their usefulness and
lengthening their lives.
For golf Is good medicine. The DOC
tors recommend it. 1t has cured more
hypochondriace than all the drugs
since Galen. II has brought men back
from the edge Of a grave that they had
dug with their teeth.
The average man Of middle age or

M00AsHiAiNs IN IOWA.

Two moonsniners have been arrested
for preparing TO distill whiskey. They
had their still set up on an island in
the Missouri near Sioux City when the
sheriff heard of IL and quietly took
over the still and landed the men in
prison.
Those who have moonshining in
mind should ne warned that il is a
precarious and Improbable business.
In the mountains of eastern Tennessee
among the gulches and with a popula-
ton Of ignorant people convinced that
moonshining IS a legitimate matter and
that its suppression is oppression 1t is
very different thing. In Iowa where
the majority Of people would quietly
inform the proper officers of suspicious
circumstances pointing to Illegal dis
tilling moonshining whiskey is an I'm
mediate bid FOR transfer TO a federal
penitentiary.
The hardest thing TO hide In Iowa is
a still or a blind pig. 1t LEAKS out
easier to steal an automobile and get
| away with IL than TO run moonshine
still in this state. A still can not be
! carried around in a bootleg and its
| product slipped across IN a dark alley.
| Bootlegging is easier than dLstilling.
Then the man who will buy raoonshine
whiskey will get drunk, the only reas-
on any man would drink it is TO get
| drunk. And the officers will follow
them to the still as a honey hunter
! lines" a bee-tree.
A calculated effort from the booze
! bureaus is in full swing TO frighten
| with the buga5oo that moonshine stills
will be plenty as caabages in Iowa
and Illicit liquor flow as free as water
1t Is one OF the stock resorts of the
| booze interests. We are promised that
every home Kill have its little fairy
IN the shape of handy little stove

a rotten apple are all that is needed

a Russian bolshevik convention. Some
people swallow It. But how many

NO REPEAL OF CLOSED SEASON.

Iwaverly Independent-Repub
A booklet or special bulletin from
the Iowa Conservation association
asks: Shall the quail and the prairie
chicken be exterminated from Iowa.
You may count US no on that PROPOSE
ton, with about nine-tenths Of the
rest of Iowa people. We have no time
for any state senators or represents
tives who want 10 repeal the law for
fve-year closed season which was
passed two years ago by the legisla-
ture. The quails have been our friends
from way back and we ought to be
their friends now. There are few
quails and prairie chickens left in
Iowa and we don't want them exter-
minated. AS between the extermina-
tors and the quaiis, We are for the
quails.
