 While Gregg Cassidy was rest- ing in Florida. we understand he saw Uncle Sam's new miniature Navy, the highly-publicized Mos- quito Fleet. Number Ten of that fleet of ten fast-stepping battle- craft was built in New London, Conn.,, and we believe 1t will prove the fastest in the flotilla.
 Gregg says that it's q sight worth seeing to watch those boats skim along over the waves. He says that in heavy sea, waves wash right over the enclosed hulls and that the only way the crews can breath Is through eight stove pipes that can be raised or low cred at will.
 Mighty few people have discov. cred that Florida is a cattle.rais. ing State. Probably fewer people realize that the St. Cloud Rodeo is second only to the Calgary Stain- pede. That's why everyone up here is 50 excited about the rurnor that Sam Pierce is planning to enter as a bronc-buster and wild. COW rider in this years event at the Florida stock center. Watch the news reels, folks. If Sam shows up, straddling e humped- Up mess of dynamite, give the old gentleman @ hand.
 Speaking of COWS, these many years our folks have wondered how to get around the bovine tests inflicted on livestock by bright young men who stick needles In cows tails, take their temperature, and then decide whether that animal will continue in . dairy herd or be sold for hamburger. Jack Shortt has the answer. l..
 At the Shortt Farm, about c month ago, @ calf was born with. out even the suggestion of 6 tail. Visitors for miles around came to look at the little fellow and to congratulate Jack in founding a strain of livestock that has no tails to stick needles in. Watch this column for more news of tail-less cows. Winsted papers please copy.
