below" he said. "Numa does not
hunt above the trees" But he look
ed curiously and a little fearfully at
the bright stars above him, as
though he saw them for the first
time, and doubtless it was the first
time that Taug ever had seen the
stars, though they had been in the
sky above him every night of his
life. To Taug they were as the
gorgeous jungle blooms-he could
not eat them and so he ignored
them.
Taug fdgeted and was nervous.
For a long time he lay sleepless,
watching the stars-the flaming eyes
of the beasts of prey surrounding
Goro, the moon-Goro, by whose
light the apes danced to the beating
of their earthen drums. If Goro
should be eaten by Numa there
could he no more Dum-Dums. Taug
was overwhelmed by the thought.
He glanced at Tarzan half fearfully.
Why was his friend so different from
the others of the tribe? No one else
whom Taug ever had known had had
such queer thoughts as Tarzan. The
ape scratched his head and wonder
ed, dimly, if Tarzan was a safe COM
panion, and then he recalled slowly,
and by a laborious mental process,
that Tarzan had served him better
than any other of the apes, even the
strong and wise bulls of the tribe.
Tarzan it was who had freed him
from the blacks at the very time
that Taug had thought Tarzan
wanted Teeka. 1t was Tarzan who
had saved Taug's little balu from
death. 1t was Tarzan who had con-
ceived and carried out the plan to
pursue Teeka's abductor and rescue
the stolen one. Tarzan had fought
and bled in Taug's service so many
times that Taug, although only a
brutal ape, had had impressed upon
his mind fierce loyalty which moth
ing now could swerve-his friend
ship for Tarzan had become habit,
a tradition almost, which would en-
dure while Taug endured. He never
showed any outward demonstration
of affection--he growled at Tarzan
as he growled at the other bulls who
came too close while he was feeding
but he would have died for Tarzan.
He knew it and Tarzan knew it; but
of such things apes do not speak
their vocabulary, for the finer in
stincts, consisting more of actions
than words. But now Taug was
worried, and he fell asleep again
still thinking of the strange words
of his fellow.
The following day he thought of
them again, and without any inten-
tion of disloyalty he mentioned to
Gunto what Tarzan had suggested
about the eyes surrounding Goro,
and the possibility that sooner or
later Numa would charge the moon
and devour him. To the apes all
large things in nature are male, and
so Goro, being the largest creature
in the heavens by night, was, to
them, bull.
Gunto bit a silver from a horny
finger and recalled the fact that
Tarzan had once said that the trees
talked to one another, and Gozan re-
counted having seen the ape-mau
dancing alone in the moonlight with

Heeta, the panther. They did not
Know that Tarzan had roped the
savage beast and tied him to a tree
before he came to earth and leaped
about before the rearing cat, to
tantalize him.
Others told of seeing Tarzan ride
upon the back of Tantor, the ele-
phant; of his bringing the black
boy, Tibo, to the tribe, and of
mysterious things with which he
communed in the strange lair by the
sea. They had never understood his
books, and after he had shown them
| to one or two of the tribe and dis
covered that even the pictures car
ried no impression to their brains,
he had desisted.
"Tarzan is not an ape" said
Gunto. "He will bring Numa to eat
us, as he is bringing him to eat Goro.
We should kill him."
Immediately Taug bristled. Kill
Tarzan. First you will kill Taug,"
he said, and numbered away to
search for food.
But others joined the plotters.
They thought of many things which
Tarzan had done-things which apes
did not do and could not under
stand. Again Gunto voiced the
opinion that the Tarmangani, the
white ape, should be slain, and the
others, filled with terror about the
stories they had heard, and thinking
! Tarzan was planning to slay Goro,
greeted the proposal with growls of
accord.
Among them was Teeka, listening
with all her ears; but her voice was
not raised in furtherance of the plan.
Instead she bristled, showing her
fangs, and afterward she went away
in search of Tarzan; but she could
not find him, as he was roaming far
afeld in search of meat. She found
Taug, though, and told him what the
others were planning, and the great
bull stamped upon the ground and
roared. His blood-shot eyes blazed
with wrath, his upper lip curled up
to expose his fighting fangs, and
the hair upon his spine stood erect,
and then a rodent scurried across
the open and Taug sprang to seize
it. In an instant he seemed to have
forgotten his rage against the enc
mics of his friend; but such is the
mind of an ape.
Several miles away Tarzan of the
Apes lolled upon the broad head of
Tantor, the elephant. He scratched
beneath the great ears with the
point of a sharp stick, and he talked
to the huge pachyderm of every
thing which filled his black-thatched
head. Little, or nothing, of what
he said did Tantor understand; but
Tantor is a good listener. Swaying
from side to side he stood there en-
joying the companionship of his
friend, the friend he loved, and ab-
sorbing the delicious sensations of
the scratching.
Numa, the lion, caught the scent
of man, and warily stalked it until
he came within sight of his prey
upon the head of the mighty tusker;
then he turned, growing and NUT
tering, away in search of more
propilious hunting grounds.
The elephant caught the scent Of
the lion, borne TO him by an eddy

for the closing of certain flowers
after Kudu had deserted the sky,
and the opening of others during
the night, he was surprised to dis
cover that Mumga had never noticed
these interesting facts, though she
could tell to an inch just where the
fattest grubworm should be hiding.
To Tarzan these things were Won
ders. They appealed to his intellect
and to his imagination. He saw the
flowers close and open; he saw GER
tain blooms which turned their faces
always toward the sun; he saw leaves
which moved when there was no
breeze; he saw vines crawl like
living things up the boles and over
the branches of great trees; and to
Tarzan of the Apes the flowers and
the vines and the trees were living
creatures. He often talked to them,
as he talked to Goro, the moon, and
Kudu, the sun, and always was he
disappointed that they did not reply.
He asked them questions; but they
could not answer, though he knew
that the whispering of the leaves
was the language of the leaves
they talked with one another.
The wind he attributed to the trees
and grasses. He thought that they
swayed themselves to and fro,
creating the wind. In no other way
could he account for this phenom-
enon. The rain he finally attributed
to the stars, the moon, and the sun;
but his hypothesis was entirely un-
lovely and unpoetical.
Tonight as Tarzan lay thinking,
there sprang to his fertile imagina-
tion an explanation of the stars and
the moon. He became quite excited
about it. Taug was sleeping in a
nearby crotch. Tarzan swung over
beside him.
"Taug" he cried. Instantly the
great bull was awake and bristling,
sensing danger from the nocturnal
summons. Look, Taug!" exclaimed
Tarzan, pointing toward the stars.
"See the eyes of Numa and Sabor,
of Sheeta and Dango. They wait
around Goro to leap in upon him for
their kill. See the eyes and the nose
and the mouth of Goro. And the
light that shines upon his face is
the light of the great fire he has
built to frighten away Numa and
Sabor and Dango and Sheeta.
"All about him are the eyes, Taug,
you can see them! But they do not
come very close to the fre-there
are few eyes close to Goro. They
fear the fire! 1t is the fire that
saves Goro from Numa. Do you
see them, Taug? Some night Numa
will be very hungry and very angry
then he will leap over the thorn
bushes which encircle Goro and we
will have no more light after Kudu
seeks his lair--the night will be
black with the blackness that comes
when Goro is lazy and sleeps late
into the night, or when he wanders
through the skies by day, forgetting
the jungle and its people"
Taug looked stupidly at the
heavens and then at Tarzan. A
meteor fell, blazing a. flaming way
through the sky.
"Look!" cried Tarzan. "Goro has
thrown burning branch at Numa.'
! Taug grumbled. "Numa is down

Sioux City.-A squad of police

on the farm of A. Fish, expecting
confidentially to unearth still, for
it had been tipped off to them that
Mr.. Fish had a very unusual device
of some kind on his farm. What they
found was a milk can equipped with
pipe attachments and arranged over
a gasolene jet. 1t looked like a still.
Further search Of the premises dis
closed a couple of buckets filled with
wet corn. This seemed to cinch the
matter until there were explanations.
The farmer explained the milk can
with it's attachments was a device ar
ranged for heating water and steam
ing and washing milk bottles. Mrs.

soaked to feed her chickens. And so

thousand dollars in back taxes and
also to have a considerably increased
income in succeeding years, through

money and property values held by
guardians, administrators, executors.
trustees, ETC., which have escaped
taxation for years, not only in Story
county, but practically every county
in the state of Iowa, where the laxity

Under the law it is the duty of the
guardian, administrator, executor,
or trustees to report all moneys and
property on hand the preceding
Jan. /, to the assessor for taxation.
In checking over the records of

THE U. S. S. G. A.
An Army Of School Children Was
Organized Last Summer

These initials stand for the United
States School Garden Army. People
used to laugh little at the school
gardens. But when the food situation
became critical, boy and girl power
was too real an asset to be lightly
egarded.
Hence an army of school children
numbering 100000 was organized
last summer. 1t titled $4,000 acres
of land last year. This year Secre-
tary Of the Interior Lane, in an ar
ticle in the Ladies Home Journal,
says the government wants 100000
children in this army of food pro-
ducers. The sum of 100000 has
been set aside to promote the work.
All the food that can be raised will
be needed, even if the war is over.
The leaders of this movement
organize the army into companies,
each with captain and lieutenants.
The spirit of competition is appealed
to. 1t is up to the officers to see that
their company makes good. KID
gardeners that let the weeds grow
find themselves unpopular with the

a certain amount of real work. The

War History.

The State Historical Society of
Iowa has issued a phamplet calling
attention to the danger that much
valaable historical matter will be
irrevocably lost unless "a definite
and systematic effort is made for its
collection and preservation. Indeed,
declares the writer of this pamphlet,
"the very abundance of phamplets,
leaflets, pledge cards, reports, an
nouncements, posters, orders, procla-
nations, letters, and sermons makes
these valuable materials seems COM
monplace and unimportant." Fur
thermore it is urged that an "ade-
quate history of Iowa's part in the
war can never be written wholly
from official records: public archives
must be supplemented by data from
local communities.
Since the task of collecting these
records is too great for any one in
stitution or library, it is suggested
by the Historical Society that libra
ries, patriotic societies, and individ-
uals cooperate in the establishment
Of local centers where historical ma
terials of general and local interest
may be collected and preserved. II
the people of Iowa desire that the
future generations may have clear
understanding of the achievements
of the past few years, they must lay
the foundations for State and local
histories in the collection and pre-
servation of historical records and
illustrative materials.

ton of the SSth division as being
100 miles from the fighting front.

Mofnes boys, and all the boys (prac-
tically) in the division an injustice,
by printing an untruth such as that,
of course there wasn't any real heavy
fighting on our front, but on my way
from Semur to Charawn La Grande,
1 stopped over at Belfort, and wit
messed a most pathetic sight, new to
me because l had not yet had a
chance to harden myself to scenes
such as this.

coming in from seven weeks service
in the trenches with exactly Al men
left out of PA which belonged to
the 18th division later retired by the
352d infantry, SSth division. I be-
lieve most of the men had been
gassed and those that were still alive
were slowly burning to death in
some hospital not only that, but a
number of men were being wounded
or killed every day by machine gun
bullets or shrapnel; because the
SSth division did not advance 5 or
10 miles each day, neither did the
boche advance, so why not give the
boys credit, and rectify some ones
mistake. We are given credit for 6
weeks active service and mere

TO BRING RAINBOW BOYS HOME

The Rainbow division boys want
to come home, says H. E. Stout,

until few weeks ago. They are will
ling to stay if necessary, and will
take their medicine like good sports,
but every last mothers son of them
is aching for sight of the Statue of
Liberty, and Dad" is here to see if
he can get it for them.
His plan is to engineer a conven-
ton of the governors of the states
which have units in the Rainbow
division, taking the matter up first
with Governor Harding.
The boys are tired and they want
to come home" he said. IF you got
any report here that they stayed by
their own request, it was a rank lie.
Want to Come Home.
Nobody wanted to stay but S. o.
S. officers who had been recently
transferred to the Rainbow division
and hadn't seen any fighting, and it
was their request that prompted the
decision, not any made by the men
who had seen service.
Nov the men are in good quarters

of, but they're homesick. They've
done their part and they ought to be
given a chance to get back and get
started at the main business of life
