the saw without stopping the engine.

Chinese Need Farming Tools.

There Is a growing interest in Inn
proved farm implements in China,
which is creating possibilities for the
sale of certain hand tools and small
machines especially adapted to the
needs Of the Chinese. Except I'm the
bndeveloped portions of the north
west, China cannot use farm ma
chinery to the same extent that we
use it IN the United States, because
the amount of land owned by one man
is too small and in too small fields,
SAYS q United States consular Dureau
report The Chinese who have studied
agriculture, either at home or abroad.
as well as landowners and farmers
with education enough to know that
improved implements exist, are POI
tential purchasers of instruments,
chiefly Of the following kinds: Light
plows. harrOws, cultivators, small cot
ton gins. wheel hoes and irrigation
pumps operated by animal power.

"Our hair is different, and in some

But they say that the most important

SCISSORS of all the curious ways and ac-
lions and looks and that others aren't
like us.
with other animals there are many
things they do like. But we are very,
very different from all other antelopes.
And we will always be different as
long as there are prong-horned ante
lopes.
And hope there always will be
prong-horned antelopes, not only be-
cause we're interesting. but because

"And so do l." said Mrs. Prong
Horned Antelope, ''and I feel proud
when the keeper tells people of all the
things we do and of the looks we have
