It Is surprising, the number
Of people who go through life
struggling for fame and news
paper glory. The cute mani
curiSt wants to be a Carlo; the
barber reminds himself of Val.
entino; the tailor wants to be
@ great producer; the college
professor strives to be a states
man; and the elevator boy
wants to be a second AL Capone.
It's all very mystifying, and
o bit amusing. All of these
people are what they shot be:
manicuriSts, tailors, ba1 Sers,
college professors and indoor
.aviators. But none of them are
satisfied. Each one feels that
he Is being cheated of his right
ful place in the public spotlight.
Few Are Lucky
Sometimes, q few achieve
their goal. Then, for a short
period Of time, they enjoy the
thrill Of seeing their auto
graphed photos in lingerie shop
windows. After it is over, anG
the world has forgotten them,
the bitterness is greater thar
before.
So 1t goes. And so went Os-
Wald 1gglehoffer. -.
To my mind, Oswald repre-
sented the perfect picture Of
the average man. He was nei-
ther tall nor short. Neither
bright nor dumb. He looked
no more like Clarke Gable than
he did Mickey Mouse. He was
broke more often than not.
And he thought he was the
greatest guy in the world.
It was that last characters
tic which caused him to enter
the theatrical world. On the
boards, he felt he would give
the American public its rightful
chance to idolize him. OF
course, he knew nothing of
dramatics. And cue lines, he
thought, could be found in any
pool parlor. But that, as Os-
wald could tell you, was the
least of his worries.
Publicity. That was the an
Swer. Publicity. Space on the
front page. Big streamers of
black type. Paid ads. Free
ads. Publicity, he felt. would
overcome any handicap.
Oswald Igglehoffer started
off by playing a bit in a play
produced in his own home
town. It wasn't much of a
play. But then, Oswald Iggle-
hotter wasn't much Of an &C.
tor. At the end of the week.
the manager gave our hero Is
bucks and advised him to buy
Q gun with It.
But Oswald took that insult
with a laugh. He took the IS,
went to the office Of the Week
ly Courier, and inserted an ad.
To me, it's a classic:
A Classic Ad
"Due to the overwhelming
demand" it read, "of the the
atergoers to see Oswald Iggle-
? hotter, he has consented to

prison. But before I leave, I
want you all to know that sue
cess has not turned my head.
Sometime during the Winter, I
want you to visit me in New
York, where everybody knows
and loves me-"
Last Winter, they took advan-
tage of his invitation. Several
townfolk came to New York,
and Oswald assumed charge Of
the party Immediately. He told
them that he was busy, very
busy, but that he would give
them a glimpse Of Broadway's
alleged night life on the follow
ing night.
Then" he said, "you will
see what my name means. You
will see how we'll known am.
Why it seems incredible, but
there are people in this great
city who don't know the name
of the President of the United
States, but Oswald Igglehoffer
why that name Is known in
every nook and Granny in the
metropolis!"
Sees Night Life
The next night, he escorted
them to a newly opened speak
easy. He stepped out of his
limousine, raped his cane on
the door, and watched the peep
hole open.
"Open up," oswald demanded.
"You know me. I'm Oswald 1g-
glehoffer."
A voice floated out Of the
peephole.
Don't know ya," it said.
"Never heard Of va. Beat it.
Scram."
The visitors began to litter.
Oswald started to redden.
Let me in," he beloved.
Then, aside to his guests: This
is just a gag"
Finally, the manager came to
the door. The racket was be-
ginning to disturb his drinking.
He peered out into the darkness.
who did you say you are?"
he queried.
"Igglehoffer," replied our hero
Indignantly. Surely you've
heard of Oswald Igglehoffer!"
Certainly" said the man
ager. positively. Come right
in, Mr.. Igglehoffer."
The company trooped in, and
the manager grabbed the hand
of one of Oswald's friends.
"It's a pleasure to meet you,
Mr.. Igglehoffer," he told the
wrong man. II never fail to
read your books"
Oswald groaned aloud. But
when he looked at the door
through which he had just en-
tered, he almost tainted. At
that moment he learned the
true value of publicity.
For there, used only as a
shield to cover the peephole, was
a picture of himself, inscribed:
ITO pal, from Oswald Iggle-
hotter"

AT RANDOM
BY stephen J, Harmclins

The experiments ! am about to de-
scribe are not my invention. They IRE
only repetition OF what my grand
father and did when was lad and
goes back to the sixties OF the past
century, In those early days OF home
making In the hardwood section OF
Wisconsin. We had no machinery;
every operation was performed by
hand Grandpa had a "sycht" - (You
can't pronounce II unless you are
Scotch or Dutch. Try 1t next time YOU
meet me.) It is kind of a short
bladed scythe, quite crooked. and when
lying flat on the ground the "snath'
or handle would stand up perpendicu-
lar. On the top Of the snath, which
was about three feet long, there was a
handle sticking out at right angle with
the snath, and below this q leather
loop fastened to the handle for the In
dex finger. Grandpa's scythe handle
was longer than usual for he was n
very big man, feet 9. He had what
he called a "haak, or hook, handle
4 It. long with hook at one end, and
instead of the hook turning in toward
The handle 1t turned upward In a
curve. With this primitive instrument
lie would cut the buckwheat and the

rye and wheat, but the latter was
usually cut with kind OF Yankee
machine called cradle, long blade
and very much curved handle and
on II framework of five fingers turn
ed up to coordinate with the blade,
With this machine. John, Guy Eeer-
nissee's grandfather cut three acres OF
wheat per day, and on q bet cut over
four and was the champion OF that
part Of the country.
Last spring we drilled In peck OF
silver hulled buckwheat and raised two
and half sacks OF nice seed We cut
1t with scythe and threshed 1t with
fail on piece of canvas cloth. Win
moving and the wind did the cleaning.
We have small mill used in the past
for grinding chicken feed. It will
grind grain as fine as you want it, but
1t is little slow. This we use for
granding the buckwheat, and Cert
rude's flour sleeves for screening out the
husks The cakesl o, boy! Ask Prof.
Ackley how they taste and Gertrude
how to make them. The Japanese
buckwheat is q poor uneven grower
uii0 QuNo INV iihfG VIC TlBllt llhvUT.
The grey or silver-hulled does well
here. Or. Tallmadge Bergen secured
a peck and sent 1t by parcel post. I
told him all about the results, and said
that the cakes we're wonderfully
'lekker." Mrs. Bergen asked Tall
madge what "lekker" meant, 1T means
delicious) and he told her solemnly
that 1t was Dutch slang for llkker, and
now will have to do something about
it. We also planted some white flint
corn, and some yellow or red. In the
early days we took about peck In
each end Of sack, hung 1t over the
pummel Of the saddle, and to the mill
three miles away, where 1t was ground
and back in the sack in less than an
hour. Mush and milk was the staple
food of my boyhood and today love
1t best Of all cereals; but 1t does not
have the flavor 1t had then, and
will tell you the reason why.
1t is we'll known among the dealers
that the whole kernal Of the corn
ground into meal will not keep more
than about three weeks without getting
worny and musty. They therefore, mill
out the plumule, the primary root and
the cotyledon" and keep the endosperm
which contains some oily gluten and
starch. This Is the hard, round top Of
the kernel. This will keep almost in
definitely, but 1t does not contain that
!
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1933-02-09

part OF the kernel which give the meal
that delicious nutty flavor and which
contains the essential vitamines. Sc
we grind little nj time and make
some real mush. what is left We fry.
Well, we do about the same with
wheat Of which we had m acre. am
quite sure some OF II went SO bushels

IN one why or another with dioxide OF
sulphur. ! went through q large ele-
yator where the grain was run through
some shute Into bins and the air was
thick with the odor of formaldchyde.
We make the real whole wheat" flour
and the mullins IRE good, and no
thought OF dioxidcs comes TO mind,
A great variety Of vegetables thrive
wonderfully here. Why not have them
In abundance and In great Variety We
had muskmelons as delicious 90 any In
the market. peppers and egg plants.
When tell my friends OF this they
invariably answer, 70, pshawl you can
buy them In the store cheaper than
you can raise them Funny logic. 1t
reminds me OF the fellow In Seattle.
He was In the bread line. A friend
from Vashon, with good altruistic in
tentions told him that he might help
out q couple OF those looking for bread.
He could keep two, give them board
and lodging and perhaps q dollar or
two day. The fellow looked ut him
In disgust and said. II will not work
for a cent less than 5000 per day"
Such fellows ought to 20 hungry.
] have met several Of my friends
who have 5 acres or more Of good land
and who say; 1T does not pay to keep
q COW. You can buy milk for less than
It costs to keep a cow" All you have
on your acres is weeds. Your land
does not produce enough to pay the
40 mill tax. Whyp Because rightly
farmed you should have abundant good
feed for q COW, and produce at least
half Of the living for the family. 1t
Is real luxury to have all the cream
you want and good butter, besides the
satisfaction that your COW is free
from T. B. and your milk pure. Kale,
mangles, corn stalks and a patch of
oats or wheat and spring vetch, will
keep COW nicely, and enough could
be raised on two acres or perhaps less.
Chicken fertilizer Is cheap and the
land could be made rich and produce
o maximum crop. Figure up what you
spend In year for butter, milk and
cream. cottage cheese and skinned
milk, It will surprise you.
Every rancher who has or 10 acres
and family of children should have
good COW and probably pig.
s. j. H.
P. S.-Reviewins the above. I fear
that the next time am at Tins, he
will ask with the usual emphasis of
his expletive phrases: What do you
mean by 'plumule and cotyledon'p"
Well, in the kernel Of corn is stored up
the whole plant of the future. The
part that goes up above the ground on
terminating is the plumule. The part
that goes down into the soil is the pri-
mary root, and these two are enclosed
in a sheathe called the cotyledon."
This nature uses as protection and
also as a nourishment for the wonder
full little embro plant.
