About Stock Laws

l The stock law would tend to
urlye the animal industry out of the
country and bring a monopoly. But
lew men and large tracts of land could
raise stock for the market. The aver
age farmer could have little stock,
forcing him to plow his living out of
The ground and bringing distress upon
widows, orphans and others who are
not able to make their own convent
ences.
2 II would tend to raise our taxes
which many people in our county are
not able to pay.
8 In my opinion half of the county
is not in cultivation and this unculti-
waited area would grow up in thickets
when stock is taken out of it, furnish
ing dens for varmints, in answer to
Mr. Wells article last week.

Flea Critics Terrify,
Says Samuel C.. Blythe

The flea government critic jumps
about and asserts its flea view that
unless we reform our state to meet
with the flea momentary flea view the
state must perish, says Samuel c..
Blythe in McNaught's Monthly.
The flea religious critic has entire
moral disintegration just around the
corner unless flea precepts are needed.
The flea literary critic consigns us to
illiteracy unless our literature con-
forms to his flea standard. The flea
conserver of our morals has us all
sunk In hadeS unless his standards are
observed.
And so with the flea political critic,
the flea economic critic, the flea social
critic, so with all the f1eas. Adopt the
flea view or be eternally doomed and
damned. No flea was ever wrong. In
fleadOm there is salvation.
Curiously enough, we allow the feas
to annoy us. The idea of taking flea
seriously is preposterous, but we do
take them seriously. Thus showing one
of two things: Either we are too thin
skinned for our habitat, or we have
lost our sense of proportion.
For example, when an English flea,
say, comes over and bites at US, we
shrink from his billings as If that par
ticular flea was a saber-tOothed tiger
instead of the flea he is. When for
eign flea invades us we hurry out our
defenses instead of pointing out that a
flea is all the invader Is. And so with
our domestic fieas. We. the most pow
erful nation in the world. squirm and
shiver before our fieas instead Of
cracking them on our national thumb
nail. The fleas have us terrified. We
fear their fleabotomy.

THINGS
UNUS UAL
HAT ISLAND
By T. T. MAxEY
stern Newspaper Union.)

Great Salt lake is the strangest lake
on this continent. In keeping with
this situation, one Of the strangest is
lands in America is In this strange
lake. As If to perpetuate this strange
ness, the entire population Of this Is
land consists Of congfomeration Of
bird life-pelicans, seagulls, and
heron, or crane, about 100, 000-all told.
Hat island, appropriately nicknamed
Bird island, has an area Of about %
acres and Is located many miles OK
shore. There are no trees on it and
no vegetable growths aside from some
scrubby sage brush. There Is no rec
ord Of animal life on it and there Is
no human life on 1t. Nothing having
a food value grows on it. Further
more, 1t is said that no living thing,
with the exception Of a minute shrimp,
can live in the saltiest Of salt waters
which surround 1t. Ftt ~
There is dltty which says, "a wise
old bird IS the pelican" The, sex-
istence Of this bird colony appears steF;
bear out the truth of this statement.
Apparently, band Of roaming peli-
cans from the Pacific coast concluded
that the location Of this isolated
refuge made 1t a veritable paradise
for the rearing Of their young. It was
practically immune from disturbance
by man; it appeared to be free from
danger to both eggs and young birds
because Of the absence Of prowling
animals, and climatic conditions were
favorable - the sun shining on the
rocks would assist the process of IN
cubating the eggs while the birds were
absent from their nests. Accordingly.
since no trace Of the pelican, in num-
bers, lis found in any other section Of
the western inter.mountain region, ex-
cept at Yellowstone lake in Yellow
stone park, the superstition is that the
news Of this ''find" was communicated
to the haunts Of the tribe of pelicans
along the Pacific coast, because now,
especially during the mating season,
great focks Of these peculiar birds
migrate hundreds of miles over noun
tains, desert and plain to this rookery
in the midst Of this salten sea. Later,
the seagulls and cranes, sensing the
security enjoyed by the pelicans, fol-
lowed and also adopted this as their
refuge.
The utter lack Of food on this isle
is not a serious matter because these
birds are all good long distance flyers.
They fly to the outlets Of fresh water
rivers and lakes and obtain the neces-
sary sustenance, the average round
trip being about so miles. ~

BOSTON'S GRAND OLD
BELLS

Old North or Christ church, first oc.
cupied about 1928, is said to be the
oldest church still standing in Boston.
After the completion Of its massive
brick spire in 1740, the rector deter
mined upon the purchase of "ring"
or chime of bells.
Accordingly, arrangements were
made with the foundry Of Rudhall at
Gloucester, England, which cast the
celebrated bells of st. Martins in the
Fields. London, and other famous
"peals," to mold and ship suitable
chime Of bells and bond therefor In
the sum Of LOO pounds was executed
The bells were carefully and skillfully
made, shipped and laid down in Bos-
ton In the early summer of 1745.
There were eight bells in the set
the smallest being a six-inch bell,
while the largest weighed about 1,4OO
pounds.
The bells we're raised to their places
In the great tower with a care ex-
traordinary-lest some danger might
befall them. and as their voices float
ed out through the spacious arches Of
their lofty belfry and filed the air
with their tuneful and mellow sounds
great indeed was the gladness in the
hearts of the officers and members of
the church, for, in the slang Of the
present day, they were some bells.
Although cast by hand before the
advent Of modern mechanical contriv-
ances and advance chemical practices.
these bells are Of remarkable quality
and the secret of their superior
sweetness and the unusually great
carrying power of their tones remains
an unsolved mystery. ,a-t
These musical bells kept company
with one of the signal lights one
April night, In It's, when Paul Revere
took his famous ride toward Lexing-
ton to inform the populace of the
movement Of British troops; again, on
that history-making June day Of the
same year they looked out upon the
Battle of Bunker Hill-across the
Charles river, and in 1904 they mar
rowly escaped destruction when their
tower house was wrecked by a storm.
Luckily, however. although made al
most two centuries ago-the first
chimes cast for use In these United
States-they have come down to US
In perfect condition, with record I'M
matched by any other set of bells
In this country-in that for more than
175 years no public demonstrations has
taken place In Boston In which their
harmonious voices have not mingled.
