ourselves into the fight.
No one needs to remind you that
it is an American trait to go into a
sprint with the goal in sight.
We started this push June IL. Re-
ports from every city and town in
America tell us that the number of
individual buyers of extra War
Bonds today has reached an un-
precedented total. We all know that
in addition to numbers we need fire
power. Your extra War Bond is abb
solutelv essential. The greater the
stockpile of War Bonds, the easier
it will be for us to get this war over.
This very moment our boys are
waging life-and-death struggle.
Every additional War Bond you buy
will play its part in the outcome.
Last months War Bond, last weeks
War Bond, yesterdays War Bond
are already in the embattled fox
holes. Today is another day for the
home front just as today is another
day for the boys on the battlefronts.

The Buffalo Not A,
Glafn0r0uS Creature
Continued from page one)

with'a bunch on its back like 6
camel. Its TANKS are dry, lis
tail large and its neck covered
with hair like a loo. Ii lover
footed; lis head armed ike hal
of a bull. rr:co it re, emb! ir
fierceness, with no iess str=.gth
and agility"
C. J. (Ruffaln) Jones of X = gas
was one of the first men to AZ
pertinent with crosshreedinA of
the buffalo with domestic cattle.
His experiments and those of
others proved that the bull buffa-
10 would mate with the domestic
COW and the half retained some
characteristics OF both parents.
William T. Hornaday. who led
the Smithosian institutions hunt
for buffalo in east central Nor
tana in 1896 wrote at the time:
While at Miles City l heard of
German who worked a small
! farm in the Tongue river valley
and who once had a pair of COW
buffaloes trained to the yoke.
1t was said they were strong,
rapid walkers and caoable of per-
forming as much work as the
best oxen, but they were at times
uncontrollably headstrong n d
obstinate as to greatly detract
from their usefulness"
Ono Of the few men now living
who has domesricated buffaloes
is CORTLAND DuRand of the Big
Elk ranch near Martinsdale. Du-
Rand's rodeo, annual prewar fea.
tured a dozen orso buffaloes
which dived from a 4O-foot tower
into 20-foot deep lake.
DuRand has had little luck in
tanning bull butfaloes but h a 8
trained COVE so that they might
be ridden by absolute strangers,
Others have been harnessed to
carts t o haul frewood to the
house. DuRand 8 inclined to
agree, however, with Hornaday's
observations that buffaIoes c.
casionally become "uncontro)lab-
ly headstrong aud obstinate"
He discovered that a buffalo
which decides not to obey orders
simply lies down. The more one
works to get the animal on its
feet the longer it STAYS on the
ground. In early training eX-
periments oakland found it was
not uncomnoT for a buffalo to re-
main lying down for an hour at
time. only to arise of its own &C.
cord and &c about the work orr.
ginally assigned.
