Ruminant Animals Have
Two Stomach Compartment

Ruminant animals such as cows,
sheep, goats, antelopes, CRATES,
deer and camels have two compart-
ments in the stomach, observes q
writer in the Indianapolis News. As
a COW eats, the food is not at first
thoroughly chewed and passes i'm
mediately into the large compart-
ment Of the stomach, or paunch.
Later while the COW is standing or
lying down this undigested food is
regurgitated from the paunch and
masticated. This process is called
rumination. The cud is the quid or
returned bolus of food in the cows
mouth.
Sometimes a COW will lose her
cud; that is, rumination stops be-
cause the food ceases to come up
from the paunch into the mouth.
This is frequently one of the first
indications of sickness in ruminant
animals. Illumination is resumed
when the animal returns to a nor
NAL state of health. In such cases
some farmers give a COW an arti-
fetal cud, such as a dried herring,
or a strip of sailed pork, in order
to aid the animal to recover her
natural cud. The United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, however,
says the method is impractical.

The championship game that
evening between Osakis and Mel

the Osakis group 81 to 20. But
even in the mediocrity of a consol-

Alexandria that launched them to

Thull came through with 8.
Spaulding, Osakis, and Hide

the outstanding individual scorers
Of the tourney when they, in a

Mutiny at the More Was
Partly Caused by Cheese

The mutiny at the More in 1897
was partly caused by cheese, &C.
cording to a London, England, au-
thority.
Early in the Eighteenth century
there was a statement as to the
value Of particular cheese for the
navy. It was to the effect that one
third of pound Of Cheshire cheese
was equal to one pound Of Suffolk
cheese.
What would appear to be a HARM
less reference to the individual taste
Of the sailors of that time, was one
Of the principal causes Of the mu-
tiny, for the sailors, particularly
those from Suffolk, much resented
that there should be any differen-
tiation against them.
Preserved food was introduced to
the navy in 1910, when the Admir-
atty installed a plant at the Dept
ford Victualling yard. Some years
later the issue Of timed meat CO.
incided with the murder Of a child
named Fanny Adams, whose body
was cut up.
From that day the navy called
timed meat Fanny Adams"
In the mutiny at the More the
ringleader. Richard Parker, styled
himself president Of the Floating
Republic" He was hanged from the
yardarm Of his ship.

Tradition of St. Johns
Fires Faithfully Noted

The prehistoric tradition of st.
Johns fires in France, appropriated
from paganism by Christianity, is
faithfully observed, writes the Paris
correspondent of the London Sum-
day Observer. Boys and girls 60
round the village begging for fuel
for the bonfire. A bunch of wild
herbs at the top of staff is set up
in the middle. As the flames rise
towards it, the girls Of the village
try to snatch flower from it, just
as it begins to be singed, or else
they will throw a flower through
the flames and try to save it, burned
a little-for this is Indispensable
but not burned up. To do so brings
luck, and means marriage within
the year. r,.
The old people carry away one Of
the scorched embers and keep it.
They will even sprinkle it with holy
water. Others will scatter a few
sparks from the fire over the hem
roosts. This will make the chickens
healthy, according to the tradition.

SNOW FELL WEDNESDAY

Thursday morning to see the sun
playing on a new wilderness. Shows,
laden with moisture, and pronounc-
ed by some farmers as probably

SHOWS, sifted lazily over this COM
munity laying a blanket Of white.
Temperatures remaining high
made slush, that froze with drop
ping temperatures during the
night. Because Of the heavy mois-
ture content Of this latest snow
and condition Of the ground, the
value of this latest fall Is great.
Frosts, 1t Is reported, are nearly
out Of the ground. In fact, farm
ers report, there was little frost
all winter. It Is believed that a
great deal Of the moisture in the
snow was taken Immediately into
the good earth. Delaying to an
early opening Of the marble sea-

President Grant Called
Uncle Sam at West Point

President Grant was named HI
ram Ulysses, but by a curious error
he became known in history as Ulys-
ses Simpson Grant, writes a cor
respondent in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. When he was about seven
teen years old he received his APP
pointment to West Point Military
academy through Congressman
Thomas L. Hamer. Grant had been
familiarly known by his middle
name. and Hamer. who was suffi-
GENTLY acquainted with him to know
that, gave the young candidates
name as Ulysses S. Grant. Simpson
being the maiden name of his moth
er. This circumstance was probably
the origin Of the error.
Grant applied to the West Point
authorities and later to the secre-
tary Of war to have the error cor
rected. but somehow it was never
done. He did not press the matter,
and his associates at West Point
promptly adopted the initials U. S.
and called him Uncle Sam, a nick
name he retained to some extent In
the army. He was graduated in l84S.
and his commission and diploma
both styled him Ulysses S. Grant, BY
which name he was always after
ward known.

Local Rector Has
Accepted New Charge
Continued from Page one)

Rev. L. e. Kempton, REV. Robert
son has done notable work in the
local fields. He came to this city
from Washington, D. c., where he
served as assistant Rector In the
Church Of st. Stephens. His reor-
ganization Of the Church School,
in which department he is much
interested, has been among his out
standing moves. Inaugurating q
system for regular Sunday services
and mid-week instruction classes
he has been instrumental in
strengthening the Church School
in membership and along spiritual
lines. A musician himself and
Church organist before coming
here, Rev. Robertson has done
much in strengthening the place of
the choir in the local parish. In
his missionary fields of Glenwood
and Eagle Bend he contributed in
solidifying their position.
This week, with the problem be-
fore them of filling the vacancy
created by Rev. Robertson's resig-
nation, the Vestry of the Episcopal
Church has no definite plans, but
work of finding a clergyman will
be started at once.

Form of Indian Adoption

One form Of adoption" not un-
common among the Ohio Indians,
was instituted by old squaws who
had lost their husbands and who
could not find a new one available
n their own tribe. The woman
would have a party Of men 60 out
and capture white man, prefera-
bly, a white leader, and bring him
to her. At the Indian camp, amid
ceremonies that would sometimes
last for four or FIVE weeks, the white
man was not only adopted into the
tribe but formally married to the
old squaw. One phase Of the cere-
mony was the immersion of the new
conner in stream so that the white
blood might be washed from his
veins. If the captive refused to
marry the squaw he was put to
death, so he usually consented, but
at the first opportunity would es-
cape to his former home.

LOCAL GIRLS

Compositions Will Be Played Fri
day Morning Over Radio
Station WNAX

1t may be a long, tuneful path
from Main Street to Tin Pan AL
ley, but Alverna Holler and Mar
ion Arneson, high school students,
have a start.
One of two compositions they
submitted to have played will have
debut on Friday morning be-
tween II and 11:30, when Jimmy
Barnette and his orchestra will
feature the score on his broadcast
over WNAX, Yankton, South Da-
kota. The composition will be one
of two: "Woodman. Spare that
Tree" or "Set My Heart Free" and
has been selected from a group of
rs selections submitted by amateur
tune Founders.
Their short career as a song
writing team has been fruitful, for
already they have turned out quite
a number of songs. One of their
foremost accomplishments was
working up a number to fit the
Hawaiian setting of last years
Junior-Senior prom. 1t was one of
those rhythmically lazy numbers
that would make anyone play a
uke, and they introduced it them
selves at the occasion. Since then
Alverna. the pianist, has worked
on a number of musical scores, all
favoring the popular vein, and
Marion has made her contribution
with writing the words to fit the
music.
Not only can they write them,
but they can sing them. With the
addition of Eunice Svenneby they
have a trio whose performances
have been heard several times To-
cally. And unique are their inter
pretative arrangements of such
favorites as Mood Indigo"

RELIEF UNITY
Local Post FavOrs Consolidation
OF Veteran Agencies Into
One Unit

In the belief that considerable
waste can be eliminated, members
Of Paul F. Donart Post, Veterans
of Foreign Wars, went on record
at a regular meeting as favoring
the consolidation of all Veteran Re
lief agencies under a single unit,
a bill now before the Minnesota
Legislature. Commander John
Kane was instructed to correspond
with Senators and Representatives
from this district urging their
vote for House File number 317,
and Senate File number 429.
The proposed bill, passage Of
which was endorsed by the State
Department of the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars, would set up all
Veteran Relief Agencies of the
state under one unit. Veterans be-
lieve that considerable loss of time,
in caring for cases. and expense
could thus be eliminated.
The present set up entails five
agencies, the Division of Soldiers
Welfare, the Executive Council for
Veterans Relief Agency Adjutant
Generals Office, and the State Sol
diers Home Board. Each agency
administers certain types Of relief
to Veterans throughout the state.
Local Service officers are often in
a muddle trying to classify the
cases that come to them. Often 1t
is reported, a case sent to the
wrong agency will lose time in get
ting final settlement. Veterans. too,
are Directing to the expense Of adj
ministering for five agencies, when
the work. they feel, could be done
under one unit.

Canadian Indians Cling !
to "Bir Canoe" LeRend

The remnants Of the Indians In
the country surrounding Capes
Trinity and Eternity, the high points
on the Saguenay river. cling to the
ancient belief that the ark or. as
they term 1t, ''the big canoe" rested
on the top Of Cape Trinity. 1000 feet
above the level of the river which
skirts its BASE. and was placed there
by . food which inundated the rest
Of the earth, destroying all life

Indians. as well as pairs Of the

whose guiding hand landed 'the big
canoe" on the last bit Of earth left
uncovered by water.
The Indians also have q legend.
states a writer in the Philadelphia
Inquirer. which bears considerable
resemblance to the casting Of Satan
and his rebellious followers out Of
paradise. According to the Indian
tradition, the Great Manitou cast
the fallen angels" over the prec-
ipice Of Cape Trinity. All met death
In the river below with the exception
Of the leader. who was so strong
that the fall of 1000 feet only Grip
pied him.
AS this ''angel' gathered strength
he became the demon Of the river,
wrecking canoes, drowning peaceful
Indians and wreaking havoc in gen.
eral.
Mayo. the father Of the Indian
race. decided to seek and vanquish
him in a hand-to-hand encounter.
The battle between the two was ter
rife, Mayo swinging the demon
around his head and against the
rock Of Trinity with such force that
the three great gashes in the noun
tain resulted from the contacts, so
the tradition continues. Finally Mayo
was victorious, crushing out the life
of the demon and thus restoring
peace and quiet to the beautiful
waters of the Saguenay.

Beautiful Glacial Gorge
\. Charmed Indian Hunters

It was in March. 1851. that q
group Of pioneers. organized as the
Mariposa Battalion. followed the
trail Of band of Yosemite Indians

Of settlers killed by the Indians in

back to Mariposa to spread the
news Of what they had seen. &C.

through groves Of majestic pine,

Ahwahnee, deep grassy valley"
the Indians called it. A melodious
name expressive Of the distant roar
Of the falls, the whisper Of the wind
through the forest and the mag
nificent solemnity of the place.
They had other mystic names, too,
for the mighty granite monoliths
that lowered above the valley and
for the waterfalls. But to the Mari
