WHY NOT MULE MEAT7

Wild burros have become pest in
some parts of Arizona. The little.
long-eared animals are not exactly
wild, for the reason that they do not
have enough energy and spirit to be
that way; they are a good deal like
the bears Of Yellowstone park, The
mountain valleys Of not only Ari-
iona, but Of New Mexico and north
ern Mexico are overlooking with
droves Of burros. They infcst the
mining camps and ranches and are a
nuisance. Hundreds of them are
killed for their hides and grease.
It has been suggested by DR.. c. G..
Young, a noted Russian traveller and
karakul sheep breeder. who has
lived in the Southwest for several
years, that the wild burros be util-
lied as source OF meat supply for
the people Of this part Of the coun,
try.-~N New York World.

There Is just one way in which the

Praise for the spirit and the &C

without stint at meeting in Mime

dressed also by Theodore Void, gov

100000 more whose parents were
foreign born have come forward with
| response which would make the ST.
mon pure Americans sit up and take
| notice IL 1t were generally known"
Mr.. REG said.
"A great benefit from the war is the
realization 1t has brought us Of the
value OF our foreign born brother citi-
zens. 1t has made lis realize that they
are welcome element in our popu.
lation and that their contribution to

FIRST OF THE Iron HORSES"
Was Known ~ BEST Friend" and
Had lts Trial Trip About Eighty
Eight Years AGO.

The first successful locomotive
built in America was the Best
Friend, which was built at foundry
in West Point, N. Y, and was given
its first trial trip ss years ago. Dur
ing the previous year Peter Cooper,
the New York philanthropist, had
constructed a locomotive at his iron
works near. Baltimore. This loco
motive, called the Tom Thumb, was
tried on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, but il was too small to have
much practical value. A locomotive
was imported from England in 1929
and served as a model for the Amer
lean builders, although it was itself
a failure. Several years passed aft
or the successful test Of the Best
Friend before locomotives were very
widely used on the few American
railroads These roads were owned
by the state, and any person owning
a car and locomotive might have use
Of the tracks. This condition of az
fairs did not last long, and the rail-
roads passed into the control Of pri-
vate corporations, which owned the
lines as well as the locomotives and
rolling stock.
