KING INvENTS OWN SET
OF SECRET LANGUAGES
From the Detroit News.

From the Detroit News.
A few years ago Njoya, King Of
Foumban, in the Cameroons, became
jealous of the particularly good set
OF secret languages of neighboring
tribes and invented from French,
English and German words code
tongue of his own which is reserved
for the exclusive use of the cab
met" and upper administrative ON :
cials.
The interesting feature OF this
state language, which was discovered
and studied by a Frenchman, Lieut..
Clapot, is that instead of meaning
their usual equivalent the European
words have entirely different code
Specifications. La mission" for in
stance, means Ito see" "Ordnung'
means we "savant' means an
egg" and franc" means "a hill
left" means which" and England"
means "a head"

had written the whole story of
Lapierre's sentence. and of her career
as a dancer. of it's temptations and
its triumphs, its fleeting palpitant
joys, and its abject misery and de-
spair. There ~S no mention of Ken

Aged Mother Anxious

Bureau of New York City in which
information is asked regarding Geo.
Peterson, who lived at Elk Mountain
for some time.
The letter to The Republican fol
lows:
Mr.. RoscoeH. Alcorn,

Rawlins, Wyo.
Dear Sir:
An old mother in Denmark has
asked this Bureau to try to find her
son, George Peterson, 80 years old.
She is greatly worried because he
has not written home since 1917. He
worked as a farm hand in Newark,
Nebraska, from 1910 to 1916, and
went from there to Elk Mountain,
Wyoming.
He visited Newark in 1918 and
went back to Elk Mountain. l will

Tax Program Is
Receiving Support

The plan presented by the Admin
~istration for immediate reduction in
income taxes has met wide approval.
Certain features of the plan should
especially commend themselves to
voters. 1t is estimated that under
Secretary MELONS, plan income tax
es will be reduced by some $225,-
900. goo. over 40 per cent of this
will be taken off of the taxes of
those having incomes of less than
$4,000, and about 90 percent will
come off the incomes of $4,000 to
$40, 0O0-in other words, nearly
two thirds of the reductions will
benefit incomes not exceeding S10,-
900, which group comprises about
81 per cent of all income tax payers.
Federal and State taxes are about
three times what they We're in 1924,
and it is estimated that about one
sixth of the current national incomes
goes in taxes for national and To-
cal government support. Believing
that tax payers heartily endorse the
proposed reductions recommended
by the Secretary of the Treasury on
November 10, it is important that
they impress upon Congress the i'm
p%ortance of securing the proposed
relief for the tax payers. and of sup
porting the efforts of the Secretary
of the Treasury and President to
reduce expenditures and enforce
economy.

Science

T. Alexander Barns has recently
returned to this country from the
Ituri forest in central Africa This
section is the land of the Tarzan Of
fiction and is populated by gorillas
and chimpanzees. He says, how
ever, that the most interesting fea-
ture of the trip was his study of an
elephant school at the settlement of
Api, a place controlled by Belgium.
In India, the elephant, because of
his remarkable intelligence, is very
useful beast. He does much of the
public work, such as road-making,
track-laying, etc. He carries ma
terials that. in America for example,
would be transported on motor
trucks. The Belgians started the
training school for elephants at Api
in order to use them in the same
way as in India. The tsetse fly in
this section of Africa makes it prac-
tically impossible to keep horses and
oxen. The fly is deadly to these
animals, but the elephant is I'M
affected by it.

A little old mailbox stands out in
the road and it plainly is marked ''R.
F. D." A heap of real sentiment
in it is sewed though it means
naught to you or to me.
A little old lady and little old man
care not if the thing looks forlorn.
It's well served its purpose as any
box can, and a pathway out to it
they've worn.
Each day when the mailman is
making his run he stops; then he's
soon on his way. The rural old
people rush out, and it's fun just
to see what he's left them each
day.
A mail order house sends a cata-
logue fine. It's bulky as bulky can
be. But nevertheless they will read
every line and all of the pictures
they'll see.
The other odd things that are care
lessly hurled and that tighten the
mail masters load. just keep rural
people in touch with the world

Nature

The common stingray. which
sometimes makes the Pacific beach
bather yell so you can hear him five
miles off, buries itself in the mud
save as to its eyes. The rat-tair ray
sometimes attains the length Of six
feet. It's flesh resembles raw beef
steak and it is able to grow another
tail, upon losing it's original. When
it seriously feels the hook, it dives
to the bottom and takes a hold that
is hard to break. 1t is a terror to
anything like light tackle and is
sometimes caught with yards of old
line trailing from it's mouth. 1t will
bite at anything from live minnow
to sailed sardine, and, when first
hooked, has a habit Of coming to the
surface for a good look at the fisher
man. If it doesn't like his looks, it
tries to break the passage record to
Japan and there sure ensues bust
ness for rod and reel.
