Perhaps the strangest of these gifts
had been pair of homlng pigeons, which
had thrived and multiplied under the care

For this occasion Kayak Bill, in his care
fully secreted still across the lagoon, had
completed a particularly potent batch OF

The arrival, earlier In the afternoon, OF
the jocose old matchmaker with canoe
load OF his fiery beverage had been sig

courtyard. From the sounds that now
hoated out on the late afternoon air, he
must already have distributed generous
samples of his brew.

abruptly Then, like the below of a fog

Kayak Bills deep bass:
Take me north of Old Point Barrow,
Where there amt no east or west;
Where man has a thirst that fingers,
And where whisky tastes the best.
Where the Arctic ice pack hovers
'Twixt Alaska and the pole,
And there amt no bloomIn fashions

Joining the bass of Kayak Bill several
voices took up the rollicking strain
among them the high. easily recognizable
tenor of Silvertip, and the voice OF an
other, a baritone OF startling mellowness
and purity, having in It tlmore OF youth
and recklessness:
Up into the Polar seas,
Where the Innuit maidens be,
There's a fat, bright-eyed va-hee-ney
Awaitin' there for me.
She's sittin' in her igloo cold,
Chewing on a muckluCk sole,
And the sun comes up at midnight
From an ice pack round the pole.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 8.-Suppose
your father owned 900 acre ranch
in Brazil, on which he raised cattle.
Would you travel 10000 miles to a
country whose people and language
you did not know, and work there as
an ordinary ''hand" on a farm-in or
der to learn how to breed and raise
pure bred live stock?
That is what twenty-six year old
Brazilian is doing. His name is Julio
Paix Cortes; and he came all the way
from Bage, Rio Grand do Sud, Brazil,
IN order to learn how cattle are hand
led by the leading breeders of the
United States.
The young Brazilian gets up every
morning at five, helps feed at Cedar
Croft Farm, near ansas City and then,
after breakfast, puts in strenuous
day. At night he records his obser-
vations in his ever-handy notebook.
Pretty ambitious, don't you think,
IOI d It'll y iltotIl IiO OWli0 l,foO
acres of Brazilian ranch land in his
own right-and whose father has ten
times as much mroe?
Yet young Paix Cortes enjoys it, be-
cause he is learning new things every
day. His practical expedience at Ce-
dar Croft Farm is the climax of sever
al months training in this country,
during which he attended the animal
husbandry classes at the University
Of Illinois and Iowa State Agricultur-
al College.
Il came to the United States to
learn the best strains of Herefords
here" he says Brazil already has
thousands of Hereford cattle, brought
in principally from England and Uur-
quay. In the future, we think Bra
lillian ranchers will come to the Unit
ed States almost exclusively for
Herefords."

your methods and cattle. Though it

A SHABBY HOUSE
OR A SHABBY MIND

Haven't you been in houses where
lovely flowers stood all about, and
everything was spick-and-span but
the library table was strewn with pa
pers and magazines of the trashiest
description? Is it a good thing to
have the furniture of the house the
best that money can buy, and to fur
nish the mind with silly and disrepu-
table things in the way of reading?
Better by far have a shabby house
than a shabby mind. The shabby fur
niture can be burned or sold, but what
can be done for the shabby mind ? Use

tifully with yellow chrysanthemums,
palms, smilax and autumn leaves.
The bride was attired in a we'd
ding gown of white charmeuse silk
with silver lace and bead
Her bridal veil was caught
with a coronet of pearls and orange
blossoms. The only jeweled adorn-
ment worn was a diamond necklace

1t is doubtful whether any other
American problem presents so many
difficult and even bewildering aspects
as does the problem of immigration.
Economics, politics, the public health
and other fundamental factors of our
civilization enter into the equation,
and with such conglomeration of
interests in the crucible it is obvious
ly a difficult, if not impossible task,
to evolve a policy which will be even
measurably satisfactory to that many
sided entity commonly called the
public.
This immigration controversy be-
gan with the first settlement in Vir-
GINA and Massachusetts, and while
there have been periods of storm and
calm during the more than three CEN
turtles which have interviewed, never

ing practically the same factors, has
