In his address to the Eighth grade
pupils at their commencement here
last Friday afternoon, Judge ]. S.
Taylor in the course of his remarks
made an interesting statement in
reference TO the housing situation
here. He stated that when he came
here 80 years ago, a number Of per-
sons came to him offering to rent him
houses, and the house he finally
rented which was new and contain
ed six rooms, cost him SIS a month.
Recently he took survey of the
houses that have been erected here
since that time, and which total
more than so. In the face of these
facts there is quite a shortage of
houses at the presept time, and this
in spite of the fact that there are
several hundred fewer persons liy-
ing here now, than when he first
came here

There are three ways of summoning
cows. The most affectionate is "Cush,
cush, cushi" The "u0 here is not
pronounced either as in "cuss" or in
"cushla." 1t is spoken just as in
cushion" Not the shyest heifer can
resist wheedling "cuh," but on paper
the word is pale. 1t is meant to be
intoned in voice bucolic and virile.
Or you may stand at the bars and
call GO ty, CO ty, co ty." Go" is
the persuasive form of "come," but
the etymology of "ty" is vague.
However cows have always understood
it. To the third and most common
way pedants insist upon giving a
Latin derivation. This is Go boss, CO
boss, CO boss" In the far corner of
the pasture, deep in the swamp, stand
ing in the low ground brook, while
they swish its waters up on their backs
with regularly swung tail, the cows
hear Go boss" and turn home.
By the pricking of their eloquent
ears, you know that the horses have
heard you GO jock, co jock" But for
iohS tAiiC tiicy Will pIctSHu tIdt
they have no idea what you want.
Then, with that brisk, interested look
that shines on country horses face,
they come half trotting towards you.
When they get there, as the wary
know, they may decide to whirl with
