A super-cow.

Some years ago the last remaining
farmer in prosperous New York sub
urb bequeathed to his son his only
property, 10 acres Of land, ram
shackle barn and one COW. The young
recipient had no money to develop the
land, and was at loss to know what
to do with his COW, whose habits he
did not understand. He finally decided
to keep her as a remembrance of his
father, and she grazed away content

Ten years later there came an OPP
portunity to dispose of the land AT
500 a lot. or $4,000 for the whole
Based on this valuation. the taxes dur
ing the ten years would have amount
ed TO something like $4,000, whereas,
because of the COW, the property had
been given a farm classification. and

cape It,

Fl don't need wood said Holiing-
brook Jones as he got out OF his wooden
bed. He stopped on ug that had
been woven in wooden looms. de
pressed an electric button held in the
wall by wooden support, the wire to
which had been wound on a wooden
spool. The wall of the house, the
paper on it, were made of wood His
valet came holding his masters coat
on wooden hanger. Draw my bath"
said Jones. As he slid over the smooth
porcelain of the bathtub he repeated,
II don't need wood" but he forgot for
the moment that the pattern from
which the mold of the tub was made
was of wood.
That morning his valet shaved him
with a razor kept in a wooden case He
walked down a fight ofwooden stairs,
looked out of wooden easements and
took great pride in the highly
polished mahogany banister as his
caressing hand slipped over its smooth
surface.
Mr.. Jones sat in a richly hand
carved wooden chair and at a wooden
table on which his breakfast was
served. He ate som wonderful
griddle cakes from -four gristed in mills
constructed mostly of wood. The -four
came from grain reaped with machinery
mostly of wood, the grain came from
seed sown by a. device mostly of wood,
by farmer who had drawn the grain
in a wooden wagon in bags that were
wood products. Jones had maple
strip on his griddle cakes and washed
the cakes down with coffee brewed in
pure water that sprang from the
ground in the cool shade of the forest
sweet, erystal-clear water that can only
be compounded by the alchemy of the
forest floor.
But Mr.. Jones being self-willed
man and strong in old -fashioned ideas
said again, 81 don't need any wood" as
he lighted his morning cigarette with
a match that burned because it was
Of wood. He had a nice warm ride
downtown in his limousine, the seat
and top Of which were wood. He read
the morning paper half through and
dropped ii, remarking disgustedly
'that's made Of wood, too" and then
rcfectively. "wood certainly does play
large part in my affairs.
