year, tons of potatoes to an
~ acre, great are the wonder crops
Of this rich land. But the greatest
crop 10 the human crop. Without
that, others would amount to moth
ing.
MR.. JONEs's Star, of Risby,
AVA Idaho, tells of a family gather
ing of the Call family. 1t included
Anson v. Call, 20 years old, of
Alton, Wyoming, father of 20 sons
and 10 daughters, all alive, healthy
and strong. Mr.. Call is the grand
father of 90 children, and they are
all we'll.
Tell that TO your friend who thinks
birth control will solve our problems.
yIyHERE ignorance, disease, power
w ty and drink, in the slums,
combine to force large families upon
weak women that cannot take care
of them, birth control may be all
that its advocates say.
They don't need it in Idaho or
Wyoming. What they need there is
CHILDREN.
nR. BOCOCK, of Toronto, says,
- ito keep your health, walk on
tiptoe as Gorillas do"
There is no evidence that gorlllas
are healthier than their alleged re-
lations. They certainly do not live
as long as humans. And the gorilla
doesn't walk on tiptoe because he
wants to, but because he must.
A GORILLA has two club feet.
~ At least they would be called
club feet in a man. And, as every
obstetrician will tell you, all human
beings, at a certain period before
birth, also have two club or gorilla
feet. :.
Passing through that stage in
their embryonic development, they
are born with human feet and well
developed heels. And that supplies
the evolutionists with one OF their
arguments.
Don't walk on your toes going up
stairs. Plant your heel first on each
step, and observe the difference.
TN indianapolis, punishment is to
i fit the crime, when one man with
his automobile kills another.
The killer is to spend one hour
locked in a room with the corpse OF
the person killed. The theory is that
it will make the killer think, al
thought it won't bring the dead back
TO life.
XJoLTAIRE had the idea reversed
" In "Zadig" a travelling philos-
pher caused the young widows OF
India to discontinue burning them
selves alive with the corpses OF their
husbands. He didn't forbid it, only
made a law that before being burned
alive the young widow should pass
couple Of hours with the handsomest
young man in the village.
After that, for some strange rea-
son. the widow usually lost interest
in being burned up with her aged
spouse. Often she disappeared be-
fore the funeral.
OUCH punishments as sitting up
~ with the corpse are old and OUT
of date. One man wants to whip
wife-beaters, thus initiating the wife
beaten. In old days the thief had his
hand cut off. and il he stole again
they cut off the other hand.
The man that peeked through the
window of a noble lord could have
one or both eyes put out. Criminals
were branded on breast, hands,
cheeks, forehead, to warn the public.
THE great Cyrus, as a matter OF
L course, wrote of king whom he
had captured, II cut off his nose and
his lips and chained him at my
door"
When a man murdered another in
China, it was customary to tie the
corpse to the murderer's neck and
make him move about with 1t for
a few days.
We should be beyond that kind of
