Martin Brown was in no way q re.
markable man except in the matter Of
elephants, and Of elephants he had
what was in all probability the largest
single collection in the world. Please
do not mistake this assertion. His
elephants were not alive. not real ele-
plants, you know, but images, modelled
and carved.
His small studio apartment was full
of ivory elephants, some of them no
larger than watch charm, bronze ele-
plants, porcelain, plaster and wooden
elephants; some of which he himself
had carved, for Martin Brown was no
mean craftsman-a sort Of jack-of-all-
trades person, with fancy for ele-
plants.
The elephant is a large animal. even
so is the subject of the elephant. For
years he had studied them, their hab-
its. their relations, their mental devels
Opment, their physical structure, their
evolution. He had a friendly init
macy with every elephant in New York,
and whenever he visited the ZOOS the
keepers allowed him the freedom Of
the place.
The affection of an elephant may
seem a ludicrous thing, but to see those
great beasts touching him caressingly
and feeling him over with their deli.
cate trunks was not funny thing at
all. It stirred one with wonder at
the man and the mysterious bond
which existed between them.

Martin Brown "the Elephant Man."

dark purplish reds.
The velvet coat pictured here
hangs in straight lines with the full
ness at the top gathered to shoulder
yoke. The collar and cuffs are OF
beaver fur. A small melon muff is
made of the same velvet as the coat
and has a narrow band Of beaver
about the center. The big. crowned
hat has an air of much Importance
but ribbon ties at each side give 1t
a baby-bonnet touch to suit the lit
tie wearer. The soft, upturned brim
has small needlew0rk squares set
about it and a narrow band of fur
really caps the climax in this am
bilious little performance Of the
styles. The muff hangs from the
neck with a heavy silk cord and
"safety first requires that it be. pro-
vided. Unless they are unusual, win
ter styles cannot expect to command
attention. This last word in outer
clothes for little girls proves to be q
most interesting finale.

piled MS often as necessary to protect
them against discomfort and losses
caused by ear ticks. Herds grazing
on infested ranges should be treated
late in the kall or early in the winter
to prevent winter and spring losses to
poorly nousished range cattle. All
animals in on infested herd should be
treated whether or not they show In
festatiOn.
When animals are grossly infested
and the ear canals are packed full Of
ticks the parasites are easily visible,
but when tho infestation Is light or
moderate tbs ticks may be overlooked.
The parasites usually attach them
selves in the deep folds of the ear or
crawl into the ear canal and follow 1t
inward, sometimes as far as the ear
drum. Animals badly infested usually
shake their beads and repeatedly turn
them from side to side, meanwhile in

Ear ticks are especially prevalent In
the semiarid sections Of the south

infested areas, however, extend as far
north as Merida and Oregon. The
climete in pafN Of Texas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico, arizona and California
seems to favor their rapid multiplica-
ton. The ticks remain attached to
the ears Of the animals for several
months, and shipments Of live stock

GOT OFFICERS IN TROUBLE
Japanese Military Attaehe Had Wrong
Idea Of What Britisher Intended
for Commentator.

A Japanese officer does not believe
in games or social entertainments.
He takes himself and his profession
very seriously, and cannot understand
how the British military men can actu-
ally indulge in such games as football
or cricket.
Some years ago two japanese off,
GERS were sent to England to study
English, and to be attached to Brit
ish regiment. Finding it was the thing
to play various games, the japanese
entered into the spirit Of the thing. and
became very keen.
Toward the end Of their time, the
Japanese military attache in London
asked the commanding officer of the
INIT to which the two officers were at
tached to report on them, as he report
cd on his own officers. The command
ing officer complied and sent in what
he considered glowing report-'keen.
Jealous officers" etc. winding up
with the remark, livery fond Of games"
The military attache was aghast:
his specially selected officers FOND Of
games" and wasting their time, no
doubt! The officers were telephoned
for to London, had an unpleasant In
terview with their chief AID were
within an ace of being sent back to
japan in disgrace.
r occurred to them to suggest that
their commanding officer be asked FOR
a further report. When 1t appeared
that "fond Of games" was usually put
to the credit side in assessing the char
acter of an officer. there were rev
mon more astonished than the Jap
anese military attache.

His Elephants Were Not Alive.

His Elephants Were Not Alive.
and he was a familiar personality to
them all. Whenever anything new
came in that even so much as men,
toned elephants, it was always called
to his attention.
:. This had been the rule with but one
exception. For more than year past
in several of the magazines there had
been occurring most interesting type
of black and white drawings which fea-
tured the elephant in strange and Pc
culiar phases, and in most unusual sur
roundings. There were sad elephants,
COY ones, comical, rollicking, devil-may-
care elephants, abandoned and digni-
fed elephants.
They strolled or danced along the
streets, they looked curiously over gar
den walls, into or out Of unexpected
doorways, strolled up or down the steps
of sunken gardens, sometimes in the
most delightful company of dancing
girls or nymphs in silhouette.
And when Martin Brown first saw
those drawings he laughed and hunted
eagerly for more. He found them, quite
n few of them, signed modestly In the
corner. IS. B." He called the attention
of one of the librarians whom he had
known for several years and asked her
II she knew anything Of the artist. She
did! The artist was girl who came
there and pored over elephant books
and made quantities Of sketches. q
"What kind Of girl?" asked Martin
Brown. 49,. e..
"Rather young-and sort of attrac-
tive" reluctantly admitted the libra
rian, who was neither. ''Why, here she
comes now!" she added in surprise,
and his glance followed hers as tall,
slim girl came toward them.
Miss Barstow," said the librarian,
stopping the girl with a gesture to-
ward Martin Brown, this is the ele-
phant man, Martin Brown"
Brown looked into pair of sad gray
ewes that were frankly wide and curl
ons He could not understand why
those eyes were sad for there was
hint of humor in the curves Of her
mouth, and her drawings sparkled with
fun.
1--WE often wondered about you, Ele-
phant Man" said Sara Barstow, with
an open-eyed smile.
It was but natural that they should
become friends, they had 50 much in
common At his insistent Invitation she
visited his studio and sketched his ele-
plants, and he gave her of his lore and
such a companionship as she had never
before known In the timidity Of her
dreams.
Brown did not know, but that was
the reason for the sadness In her eyes,
the loneliness Of shy but courageous

Where the garden soil is need

supply of barnyard mature is
not sufficient, refuse hay, straw,
forest, leaves or other rubbish
may be applied to the soil and
turned under to increase the

such materials time to decay

The Thing That Counts.

Uncle Sam can never pay his out
standing war debts with your good
will and your well wishing. Nor with
your regrets.
Nor do good intentions pass as
legal tender in the marts.
IF wishes were horses, beggars
might ride. you know
It's Eour hard cash that counts in
this emergency. Nothing else.
And right now Uncle Sam needs
biilors Of dollars to clear away the
decks for getting into action along
the oldtime lines
To let the country get down to bus
mess in the manner necessary to
make the most Of the wonderful OPP
portunities the war opened up for
ner
To restore industry to healthy,
vigorous condition; to revive com
merce in all lines; to ease up the
financial situation; and to provide
for American enterprise reaching out
and taking firmer and better hold up
on the world trade.
These things all combine to spell
prosperity for America. Better
times for every one Of us. Higher
wages, bigger salaries, greater COM
forts.
But to get these things we must
Individually make our own effort
Must suffer personal Inconvenience
| perhaps, make individual sacrifices.
Folks who work the hardest usual
ly live the best.
Peoples who sacrifice the most for
their country usually get the most out
of IT, Usually are more intimately
integral parts of it.
And the nations that show the high

those where thrift is practical most
Where saving predominates.
