Quoted and paraphrased items

Laurel Outlook
December 9, 1925

An interesting, though hazard
Gus trip was made Sunday in a
rcwboat down the Yellowstone
river from Columbus to Laurel by
DR.. w. E. Upper and C. T. Thar
alison, who were in quest of wild
ducks. This is the second trip made
by the adventures. The first, a
few weeks ago, ended at Park City,
but on Sundays journey they ne
gotiated the river to the Laurel
bridge. The water journey started
at the concrete culvert east of
Columbus, leaving there at 7:45
in the morning and arriving at
Laurel at 5:15 in the afternoon.
The Yellowstone surprise the
travellers with its numerous chan
nels, existence of which they had
not suspected.

My Trip To 4-H Club
Congress AT Chicago

At the congress everyone is equal
no one thinks he is any better thar
the next person.
The things which impressed me
most was the Museum of Natura.
Arts and the Museum of Science
and Industry. This is the first time
l ever saw anything like this.
It's remarkable at how much
work goes into a museum. Every
thing in the Museum of Natural
Arts is life size, and the surround
ings are usually like that of which
the animals live when they're alive.
The International's model farm
and the old model cars and air
planes are what impressed me the
most at the Museum of Science
and Industry.
A talk by Mr.. Harold Stassen,
president of Pennsylvania univer-
sity was very interesting. We
heard a very good talk on child
delinquency by Judge Camille
Kelly of Memphis, Tenn. She filled
an unexpired term and seven full
terms for 80 years. She is the
only lady judge in the United
States.
She has found out that in almost
half of the juvenile cases it was
the parents fault to a very large
percent.
l was very lucky in being one
of 25 boys to attend Armour &
Company's dinner. This was at the
Saddle and Sirloin club in south
Chicago.
At this dinner we met Lady and
Lord Digby of England. Lord Dig
by brought a trophy over from
England to be presented to the top
college judging team at the Chi
cago International. Governor W.
Kerr Scott of North Carolina gave
a talk on living GIN a Democ-
racy." The groups had some very
hot arguments on this.
The Stevens hotel where we
stayed is really something. There
are 5000 rooms and the grand
ball room is really a beautiful
room. They had tables set up to
where they served over 1900 peo-
pie at one time.
The entertainment put on while
we were there was really some
We had such persons as
Dennis Day, Elaine Rogers, John
ny Lujack, Ted Williams, and some
.orchestras such as frankie Carries,
Sharp's Sunrise Serenaders,
and George Marshall.
We also had the privilege of
hearing the Purdue Varsity Glee
club. These people really put on a
program. They always had the
boys and girls on the edge of their
seats. This was the first time most
Of US had a chance to see stars
such as these in person.
We were guests of Prairie Farm
er and w. L.. S. National Barn
Dance. They put on a two-hour
show for us.
l think all the companys and
Individuals who sponsored the club
congress can't be thanked enough.
l wish to thank the Milwaukee
abroad for sponsoring my trip.
l know that my experience at
Tub congress will help me a great
leal in the future. The discussions
we're of greatest interest and really
rave the boys and girls something
O think about.
This was the first year since
Tub congresses have been held that
AZ states were represented, also
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Alas
a, Austria, Denmark, France,
Germany, Honduras, Japan, Lux
mberg, Netherlands, Turkey and
'hailand.
l believe all All boys and girls
hould try out for the club con-
.ress trip. 1t is something that
hey will always remember if they
eceive one.
Again | wish to thank those who
made this trip possible.
l am a member of the Elysian
'eppy Peppers and have been in
Tub work for II years.

difficult to get hand anywhere near
the young birds.
The maybe is more or less q can
nibal.
It eats small birds, their eggs and
their young. and is particularly fond of
mice. which is to its credit.
Old-time Western trappers in the
Sagebrush country say that it will run
a trap line and eat the caught animals
before the trapper arrives.
Indicative Of its intelligence is its abil-
ity to recognize bits of cotton put on
Sagebrush to mark trap lines.
Another black mark against this hand
some black and white bird is its fond
ness for attacking cattle and sheep
which may happen to have open sores.
Even branded cattle are attacked in
this way. not only to the great pain and
annoyance of the attacked ones. but also
sometimes to their death.
Il
Yet there is q good side to the bird.
It is a comical fellow. along with its
cousin. the bluejay. It Is bold. noisy
and good consumer Of insects, includ-
ing many inimical to the interests Of
man.
Another mark Of the magpie's inteali-
gence Is its selection Of thorn tree for
