AWAIT VERDICT ON OSTRICH
" Arizona Reports Favorably. Biz
Bird May Take Its Place as
National Food
"Please pass the ostrich"

'Please pass the ostrich"
This request may be heard soon In
the public eating places and the din
ing rooms OF the private homes OF
Washington. Stranger things than tho
serving of nice roast ostrich, with
plenty of gravy and dressing have hap
pened during these war times.
The future popularity OF this bird
as an American dish depends to a
large extent upon the success to be
met In Arizona, where they are being
introduced as q food now.
The federal food administrator for
Arizona has granted permission to the
owner of one of the largest ostrich
farms In America, situated near Phe-
nix. to slaughter 800 of his birds. This
ostrich raiser reports that the birds
are In excellent condition, and when
killed will be dressed and placed on
the market at an extremely low price
probably 10 cents n pound The 500
birds will make about 25,OOO pounds of
dressed meat
This war is responsible in two ways
for this action on the part of the os-
trich raiser. In the first place, the lat
ter would never think of slaughteriny
these valuable. If not overtcnder, birds,
but for the fact that the war has put
the ostrich plume more or less out OF
business. In the second place. the
war shortage of meat Is responsible
for the issuance OF the order permit.
ting the slaughter and sale.
And thus 1t comes to pass that Ari-
zona, or part Of her population. at
least, Is preparing to observe and cell
ebrate "Ostrich day" Meanwhile the
rest OF the nation Is waiting to hear
the verdict to be passed upon this
bird as nice, tasty, and tender food
aside from its neck
Officials OF the food administration
are rather optimistic about the future
or the ostrich as a food They point
to the tremendous hit whale meat has
made In various sections; even shark
steaks have been passed upon and
approved, and reindeer meat is making
the hit of the year in the West.-Wash-

PIERRE, S. D.. December "A
three-ring political arena was thrown
open here today to receive the hats of
various officeseekers from candidates
for President of the United States to
minor state positions.
At the close of a day of conferences
and political activities yesterday Sena-
tor Miles PoindeXter of Washington, a
republican candidate, rented theater
and addressed mass meeting in FUR
therance Of his candidacy
He said he was ready to return to
South Dakota to discuss presidential is
sues with Maj. Gen. Wood SHOULD
Wood become an avowed candidate for
President He said he would submit
to Wood these questions:
Did you approve or support the great
principles of government for which
Roosevelt stood?
Ibid you vote for his election. or adj
vocate his policies, either privately or
publicly?
What is your policy as to fulfilling
our international obligations and pro-
tecting the lawful rights of American
citizens in Mexico?
Are you in favor of an immediate
declaration of peace with Germany, and
of at once repeating war legislation and
restoring the American government on
a peace basis?
Are you for or against the American
union with Europe under the covenant
OF the league of nations?
do you favor the continuance of war
taxes and, if not. what system would
you substitute for them?
What means do you propose, If any,
for protecting essential industries, such
as coal mining and transportation. from
bolshevik interference?
You are reported to have said, L
thoroughly approve of our country's re-
ception Of various devastated areas in
Europe for the purpose of reconstruc-
ton What particular areas would you
take over and to what extent would you
eXpend the public funds in this work?
How many American troops would
be required?
Would you accept a mandate for
Turkey or Armenia?
ut is estimated 100000 troops would
be required for this work. If sufficient
troops did not volunteer would you raise
them by CONSUMPTION to police Turkey?
What warrant do you find in the
Constitution for taking over areas in
Europe and expanding the public funds
thereon?"
