Food of Osfriches

Ostriehes are by nature herbivorous.
On ostrich farms the birds are usu-
ally pastured on alfalfa in the sum-
mer and fed alfalfa hay, wheat bran,
barley, oats and corn in the winter.
OF course they require grit. Ostriches
are notorious for their voracious ap-
petite for stones, gravel, granite and
pieces Of bone. They have been known
to swallow pocketbooks, spectacle
cases, watches and other similar OBJ
jects. AS rule they do not care for
flesh of any kind unless real hungry.

VIM. J. Barr, their pastor, and Rev.
G. Ward Simpson had charge of the
funeral. Rev. Simpson gave the SER
mon and Rev. Barr the obituary and
talk on life and departure of deceased.
Mrs. Kellett was member Of the
Presbyterian church and faithful
Christian worker. She was devoted
to her home and family, willing to
sacrifice her life for husband and
children. She will be greatly missed
by her host of friends in Duluth and
Bruno whose sympathy goes out at
this time to the grief-stricken family.
The beautiful floral offerings spoke
louder than words of the esteem In
which she was held by her many
friends. The casket was buried in
wreaths, pillows, anchors, and sprays
of flowers.

WHEN FATHER CARVED THE
TURK

nAo CIV oyo ulu tiiC dIfIuS III Tic Oiu
days on the farm,
When roasted bird at meals occurred
she'd slice it to charm;
But last Christmas father said, when
ma was carving ducks,
Her cooking, though twas passable,
she couldn't carve for shucks.
Dad said again he noticed when a
chicken came on deck,
Though all the rest got legs and
breast, he always got the neck;
Henceforth he'd WELD the knife him
self, and now I'll go to work,
Events I'll trace, tell what took place
when father carved the turk.
Twas Christmas day, the table gay
with fixings for the feast,
And every guest dressed in his best,
a score of them at least;
A hungry hoard sat round the board
as dad. took up his knife,
All sharpened like a razor, for the
battle of his life.
flushed was the din as ma brought
in the gobbler brown and slick.
Nom winked at me, I winked at Sue
and Sue she winked at Dick;
ALI bowed their heads as grace was
said by Reverend Joseph Burke;
Then, still as death, we held our
breath while father carved the
turk.
Dad shed his coat and barred his
throat and then he butted in;
The gobbler's hide to cut he tried,
but couldn't pierce the skin;
It's breast he jabbed, it's back he
stabbed and gave it such slap
1t went right swish clean off the dish
and Topped in Sal Smiths lap.
Twas soon put back; again dad hack
ed. Oh, things were going some
When dads knife slipped and off it
whipped the top of fathers thumb,
Dad stamped the floor and strange
oaths swore, while Reverend Mr..
Burke
Begged heaven in prayer our lives to
spare, while father carved the
turk.
We fixed the old mans thumb, and
dad, sad to relate,
Upon the table knelt and chased the
turkey round the plate;
One knee was on the gobbler's breast,
the other in the pie,
While gravy flew on me and Sue and
hit the ceiling high
We ducked beneath the table, twas
the safest place to go,
While pop was wrestling up on deck
we breathed prayer below.
Then came a crash, an awful smash,
in my brain long twill Turk,
That deafening roar when ON the floor
came father and the turk.
We scrambled out and picked dad up;
you should have seen him
prance- rg
The carving knife lodged in his shoe,
the fork stuck in his pants; :
His face was smeared with grease,
his beard and whiskers full of pie,
Ere he could see ma dug out three
potatoes from his eye.
Then old doc" Jupp fixed father up
and said twas very plain
He'd turkeyitis of the pants and gravy
of the BRAIN
Another gobbler soon was cooked and
each one went to work
And ate, you bet, but don't forget,
twas mother carved the turk.

Diaz has been saying for some time.
But what if Mexico really believes
that Sacasa is the rightful president
of Nicaragua, as President Coolidge
believes Diaz to be?
"Queerly enough" the editorial
points out, Gin 1911 somewhat par
allel situation existed. President
Taft sent United States Marines to
support Mr.. KelIOgg's white-headed
boy, Diaz, then vice president, and
he eventually became president over
