They Make Faces

lutN Nidht II FtS
nO-LALA and Peggy, seated in
~ golden howdah on the back of
Pindar, the elephant. looked up in dis
may at the monkeys parading on the
walls of the temple garden. The mon
keys were very funny as they aped the
ways of jeweled ladies at a court ball,
but at the same time OO-la-la and
Peggy could not help remembering that
carelessly were worth a great fortune,
and that without them Rajah Mir Bubu
and his newly found daughter Lada
were poor instead of rich.
At first Oo- la la and Peggy tried TO
coax the monkeys to give back the gems.
Then Pindar, the elephant. scolded at
them, trumpeting loudly. And finally the
Dog With the Clipped Far called them
cames-the meaneSt names he could
think of. But to the CoaXing, TO the
scolding, 10 the calling of names, the
monkeys paid but little attention. They
just grinned and chartered and wHddled
back and forth on top of the wall like a
lot of peacocks on parade.
II have heard that if you make faces
at Monkeys they will throw things at
you," said Peggy. Lets make the
worst faces we can and maybe they will
throw the gems at us.
So Peggy wrinkled up her nose at
the monkeys; % la la pulled out the
corners of his mouth with his fingers
and wiggled his ears; the Dog With
theH Clipped Ear snarler and showed
his teeth Pindor, the elephane, snorted
and blew with his trunk
The monkeys made faces back, but
FIRST they carefully put down their jew
els. They didn't throw a single gen
nor solitary gold coin.

The New Automobile Law.

] County Treasurer Hansen is now pre-
fparing to institute the new system pro
viding for the registration Of automo
biles in his office. This year there was
1900 motor vehicles registered from
Howard county at Des Moines. Next
year the registration is expected tc
!! reach 220O and Mr.. Hansen has been
| notified that he will receive that num-
Der of license plates.
Under the old law the owner did not
become delinquent until after April l
|if he had not paid bis fees, and though
there has been considerable in the pa
per about this new law, past experience
has taught those in charge Of the State
auto department that there are con
siderable number of auto owners who
know very little of what is required of
them, and hence it is judged they are
paying but very little attention to the
new law.
The new. law goes into effect Dec. l.,
but licenses will be taken out under it
from Nov.1 on. On Jan. l . penalty
Of 81 goes on if the fee is not paid and
81 penalty is added each month there
after. Mr.. Hansen already has the ap-
plication blanks but will not have the
license numbers to give out on Nov.
1st.
, Ike law further provides that on
April l, 1921, and annually thereafter,
the state department shall forward to
each County Treasurer a list Of motor
vehicles on which the fees have not
been paid. This list is published by
the Treasurer in county newspaper
the first week in May, and if the H.
cense and penalty are not paid within
fifteen days the list is turned over to
the Sheriff who may seize the car and
sell it for unpaid fees. All of the costs
must be paid by the delinquent owner.

CRESCO. HOWARD COUNTY, IOWA, FRIDAY OCTOBER
Poultry Meetings Popular.

A good many hens in Howard county
are going to lose their heads as q result
of poultry culling demonstrations held
during the past week in various parts
of the county by J. R. Redditt, of the
Agricultural Extension Department of
Iowa State College and County Agent,
E. J. Mildenstein.
Most of these hens are the best look.
ing ones in the flock. According to
Mr.. Redditt the poor lsyers are the
early molters and many people make
the mistake of keeping them because
of their bright plumage. 'The best
way to pick out the good layers, said
Mr.. Redditt lis by noting the capac-
ity. This is determined by placing the
hand between the breast bone and the
pelvic bones. In poor layers these
bones are not far enough apart to al
low the hand to be placed between
them."
Mr.. Redditt also spoke about the dis
eases Of poultry; the most common Of
which is tuberculosis indicated by
swelled joints and falling off in weight.
'The flock may not show signs of tu-
berculosis in the winter but that is
when they get it," said Mr.. Redditt.
1T is caused by close quarters and
poor ventilation but takes about six
months. The axe is the best cure and
sanitary housing the best preventa-
tive" The Farm Bureau will continue
the work of stimulating interest in
profitable poultry raising.
