T axe yWord for 1t
By Fronk Colby

A person who is blamed for an
others derelictions is spoken OF as
"the goat" This Is q shortened
form of "scapegoat." term of bib
licaI origin. In the 10th chapter OF
Leviticus, a scapegoat is described
as a goat, chosen by lot, to be pre-
sented to the Lord as sin offering.
"But the goat, on which the lot fell
to be the scapegoat shall be pre-
sented alive before the Lord, to
make an atonement with him, and
to let him go for a scapegoat into
the wilderness" In other words,
upon the goats head the sins OF the
people were figuratively placed, ana
when he was allowed to escape into
the wilderness, the sins were con-
sidered as having been atoned.
Small amounts Of money which q
woman sets aside for the purchase
Of incidentals is called pin money"
Pins were once made by hand. ana

Where Did We Get 1t?

Thirteen Is called "a bakers
Dozen" It was once required that
bakers give an extra loaf or bun
with every dozen sold to customers.
This was to insure full weight. Dur
ing the last century, 10 was also
called "a devils dozen," because Of
associating the number with bad
luck.
A man who breaks a promise, or
who backs out or retreats from a
position, Is said to have "craw-
fished." The allusion Is to the as
tonishing ability of the crawfish to
swim backward when frightened or
disturbed. This Is accomplished by
a powerful and single flip of the
tail. The crawhsh is more cor
rectly called crayfish. In the South,
where 1T is esteemed for its fine
meat and delicate flavor, the crlls-
tacean Is often called "crawdad."

cost as much as 81 dozen. House.
wives, therefore, resorted to various
expedients Gas many still do) to earn
pin money, or to wheedle it out OF
the reluctant pockets Of their
spouses. At one time in England, a
husband was required by law to set
aside q certain sum of pin money
for his wife's exclusive use.
"A harmless lunatic Is called .

baseball term which described a
pitched ball that gyrated crazily In

The screwball was introduced by
Carl Hubbell when he pitched for
the New York Giants.

What would you do 1t you 1ouno
yourself in q forest, without any
tools or weapons but with danger
Gus beasts prowling around?
My guess is that you would try
10 get out of the forest, or else
would climb tree.
Early people had to worry a great
deal about wild beasts. We may be
sure that many of them climbed
trees, but even then they were some
distance from being safe. Huge
snakes of the python type can
climb a tree, and so can bears OF
several kinds.
To fight against animal enemies,
early men must have used what
ever weapons they could find. A
stone with weight OF a few
pounds could be hurled at wild
beast and might knock it down.
Perhaps man in tree sometimes
used a club to hit a bear which
was coming up the trunk.
Now and then we may find a
sharp piece of stone which could
serve as a knife, but it is rare for
nature to produce such an object.
There are proofs, however, that
early men broke up stones and
turned the pieces into knives. Chip
ping was done to sharpen the edges
of the stone knives. Flint was the
stone which was used most often
for this purpose. Hundreds of stone
knives have been found in and
around caves where Stone Age peo-
pie in Europe lived.
Men also learned how to make
stone "hand-axes." A hand-ax was
a sharp-edged tool which could be
held in the hand while wood was
being cut. Tests with some of those
which date back to the Stone Age
have proved that they were fit for
use in chopping branches from a
tree, or in cutting through the
trunk of a sapling.

GRASSHOPPER CONTROL
STARTS IN EUREKA AREA

Distribution of grasshopper poi
son to farmers in the Eureka area
was started last Friday according to
County Agent Frank Robinson.
In a survey conducted with Keith
Evans, a Federal Entomologist, it
was found that grasshOpper density
ran from around 80 per square yard
to about 500 per yard In the more
heavily infested areas, the foliage
has been stripped from the range
grass. On the Chellcraft place at
Gateway, the hoppers have eaten
all the foliage from the rhubarb
plants, leaving Just a skeleton of
the leaf veins They have also eaten
all the foliage off the horseradish
plants They have moved into some
of the alfalfa and grain fields.
Where they have moved into grain
fields, the top growth is eaten down
to the surface of the ground until
the field appears to be barren.
The Eureka area has been APP
proved as a grasshopper control
unit and the materials for mixing
the poison bait is furnished by the
u. S. Dept of Agriculture
This poison is made up by mix
ing fluosilicate with bran and saw
dust and then wetting the mixture
with water. This bait is spread at
the rate of 20 pounds of wet bait
per acre. Spreading is being done
by two ground spreaders of the
Tobacco Valley Soil Conservation

LIVED IN COFFEYVILLE
IN STIRRING TINES

H. W. Cole of Troy was in Libby
Monday. and while here made The
Western News Office a pleasant call
He was in charge of putting out
the 1880 gopher poison in the Troy
vicinity and just completed the
work Sunday There were 75-lbs
of 1880 distributed IN his area.
The Western News publisher en-
joyed discussing his native state
with Mr. Cole, who is also a native
of Kansas, though he has lived in
Lincoln county for many years. As
a lad he remembers the raid of
the famous Dalton Gang of out
laws on Coffeyville, which was his
home at that time.
The raid occurred in 1892 but
Young Cole was in Kansas City
that particular day His father
however was at Coffeyville and met
the gang a short distance outside
the town while it was riding in to
make the bank robbery He did
not recognize the outfit but later
in the day on coming into Coffey-
vile, he learned of the event.
Both Mr.. Cole and the publisher
are loyal Montanans now, but it is
always interesting to discuss the
home of ones early youth. and this
discussion was no exception.
