Kansas City Is very quiet now,

the big stores, because the Tulsa
crowd has never found out that the
town is wide open. Everything will
be all right when they find it OUT
A Kentucky farmer who lives near
Aberdeen, Miss, told me he bought
1900 head of sheep out west to put on
his Mississippi place last week, and
he was on his way back this week to

The largest hotel in Kansas City
has a Filipino orchestra which uses
mandolins and guitars and PLAYS real
music The contrast of this with the
usual jazz orchestra at such places is
SO striking that everyone comments
favorably.

Some time ago a judge of the GRIM

appointed a man to succeed him who

Mails Dog 220 Miles,
Stamps Stuck On Ears

San Francisco.--Even a pup may
need a change of climate.
And a long train journey might
be particularly pleasant to him,
especially if the children at home
are petting him against the grain
or have worn him ragged tying
ribbons to his tail.
OF course it is expensive to give
him the vacation at tourist rates,
But he might be sent through the
mail by parcel post. Perhaps by
sticking a stamp on his ear or tail
he could go most anywhere.
Now just such a thing did happen
up at Winters, Cal. Up there q
mongrcI pup was slipped into the
mails and reached Elmer Crews in
Bayfork. Trinity County. 22O miles
away.
The dog was recognizec. as first
class mail for three days, but en-
joyed all the privileges of live
stock. He was fed, watered and
petted the entire distance.
According to regulations, pups
