EVER EAT A MONKEY ROAST?
It's One of the DeIicacies From Hun
ter's Paradise of Mexico Rel
ished by Natives.

Mexico City.-Mexico is hunters
paradise. Almost within sight Of the
capital are forests that abound in wild
game, offered at all seasons in the
Mexico City markets.
venison Is a staple and wild ducks
and geese may be purchased for a few
centavos. Live quail, pheasants and
pigeons are sold on the streets. In
dams from the hills frequently trudge
to the city with wild boar, and
turkeys may be had for the price OF
a paltry tip to native hunter.
If one is so inclined, a tender
monkey may be procured for Sunday
baking-a dish that Mexican epicures
especially of the tropical regions, relish
above all others.

suits In determination OF $780,
600 Of These Pests.

Des Moines, Ia.-Aroused by the
army Of rats that overran the state,
Iowa recently ended q crusade to rid
the country of some of these pests.
War on the rodents was declared
when it was announced that they cost
the farmers of Iowa, at a conservative
estimate, $6O.OO0,OO0, annually. They
destroy about $2O,OOO,OOO worth
Of poultry and S4O,OOO,OOO in grain
yearly.
Great interest was aroused and the
campaign was made a big success by
the fact that real prizes were offered
for the champion rat killers in the
state When once started, the orig
inal fund was supplemented by county
farm bureaus, civic organizations, ana
business firms until ii was swelled to
$4,000.
The county fund, established by the
farm bureaus, was for the local county
winners, and the state prize for state
winners. Thousands Of Iowans enlist
ed In the crusade, and at the end Of
the contest, which lasted six weeks
Iowa had killed 1,5O0,O 900 rodents.

matter returned majority and minor

the negotiations between the denomi
nations so far, urges the appointment
of another commission to confer with

TO INSURE FEEDING OF
CHILDREN IN POLAND

WARSAW, May 1S.-A law to insure
the continuance Of free mass child
feeding in Poland after the American
relief administration withdraws on
June next has Just passed the Polish
diet and been ratified by the council
Of ministers.
In accordance with a clause in the
Polish constitution which declares the
states responsibility FOR its children,
the new legislation permits an apprO-
priation Of 1000, 100000 marks to carry
on for the first year the program
which the American relief administra-
ton officials consider necessary for
that period.

Although the BoIshevik reply to the

This insistence broke the back OF the
