FARMER HAD
COW STOLEN AT NIGHT

When E,yan johnson, a farmer re-
siding two miles from Lafayette, en-
tered the barn to do the chores, he
was surprised to find that one of his
Holstein cows had been removed from
the premises during the night. 1t is
apparent that the animal was hauled
away from the place as cow tracks
were seen leading to the road, where
is was placed on a truck. There is
no clue as to what happened to the
animal, or who took it.

Now for look in the business

with bright case of casein-where
did it come from? From a COW, not
an American COW, in all probability,
but an Argentine COW, because in
Argentina there is a smaller demand
for milk for food than in the United
States. Casein for pens and similar
objects is solicited milk. The gold of
the pen point may be American-or
it may be South African. The very
point of the pen, the part he writes
with, is not gold, but iririum most
likely from the platinum mines of
Soviet Russia's Ural mountains.

cure rheumatism, and that the light
ming rod may be menace to safety
rather than a protection if not prop
erly adjusted. But am mistaken; the
lightning rod, and Nancy tells me also
the corset, is coming back again.
All through the farming district, as
we drove down toward Metropolis, we
could see the work of the lightning
rod dispenser. Every house, every
barn, every outbuilding, from wood
shed to chicken roost, was bristling
with lightning rods. Fourteen /

could guess how it all happened.
Some silver-tongued orator, trained
in craftsmanship at college, had
dropped in on the Browns and had
sold them the proposition. Safety,
protection, freedom from sudden death
were all to be gained by the simple
investment in lightning rods-the
more the better. They fell, and, being
the most prominent people in the
neighborhood, were followed suit by
the neighbors as meekly as sheep fol-
lowing each other over the pasture
fence.
If it isn't lightning rods it is some
thing else quite as foolish that we
all adopt. Two years ago all the big
boys in college had coonskin coats. l
knew a boy who waited table and
fred furnaces in order to get himself
one and so be in style. Last year
the coonskin coat was quite passe.
All the real beau brummels had CAM
els hair. One just wasn't in it with
out a camel's hair coat. Next year
it will be something else and the cam
els hair coats will be thrown into
the discard.
1t was the same way with garters.
Some one started the fashion of dis
carding carriers and letting his socks
hang in a discouraged way over his
ankles and Immediately every young
fellow threw away his garters.
We don't think, so much for our
selves; we follow the fashion; we do
as our neighbors do. If Mrs. Brown
has long skirts or. hobs her hair or
goes in for antique furniture, then all
the neighbors follow in quick order.
If Brown puts lightning rod on the
hen house, Immediately all the chick
en- houses in the township are fur
nished with lightning rods.
The story is told that in the late
war a German private soldier was
apprehended upon French territory
and brought in to the American COM
mander of the post.
"See here" the American said,
"You have no business here. What's
going to happen to you is that you're
going to be backed up against the
fence and shot,"
"Vell,'.' the German said, ready to
adopt lightning rods if that was the
style, "Vateffer iss de rule"

Macdonald, you unconsciously think

Macdonald has been photographer
Of men for 80 years, and not once in
that time has he made woman's por-
trait. Sixty thousand men have posed
for him in that time.
Men who make pictures of women
make emasculated pictures of men,
says Macdonald, and he will have
nothing of it. At Christmas time he
wanted portrait of his daughter, and
he paid another photographer $3.50 to
do the job.
Women, Macdonald claims, wear
uniforms, while the men dress dis
tinctively. '"Take the Ritz ballroom"
he goes on. "Out of 100 women, 90
wear gowns cut to the minute. Their

TOUCH TO MISS
SANTA CLAUS

It's tough when a fellow has to
write to Santa Claus and tell him
he can't come around to see him
because his mother is sick in bed.
It's tough enough to have your
mother sick, but it makes a lump
come in your throat when you
have to miss meeting Santa Claus,
too.
That's just what little George
Fogleman, of 213 Fourteenth st.
S. f., is UP against. George has
written letter to Santa.
George wrote him that some Of
the boys in his school don't believe
In him, but that he believes in him
and thinks he's great The boys
who don't believe in Santa have q
chance to see him, too, but George
wrote tearfuIiy that he can't come
uptown because his mother is sick
and he can't leave her. Much as
he thinks Of Santa, George says
his mother always comes first.
The people at the store who
know Santa said they thought be
wouldn't feel hurt because George
can't come to see him, and that
he probably would think George
even ia finer fellow because he
sticks by his mother.
Still, it's tough on q fellow.
