HIS FOOT SLIPPED
Government bulletins are mostly 0. K. and we ar.e
glad to get and read ‘em. Once in a while, however,
some investigator let’s his foot slip while handling
generalities. For instance in Agricultural Bulletin No.
1350, entitled “Blue Fox Farming in Alaska,” the
writer amplifies his previous remarks by saying that
the blue fox industry is “particularly important to Alas
ka since it utilizes outlying islands that are of little
or no value for agriculture.”
. Such information, even tho its a sideswipe, should
not go unchallenged. We know of the cattle and sheep
and horses and goats and potatoes, and onions and
carrots that are being raised on many of those islands
along with the fox. We are just registering a kick be
cause even in Washington their forensic efforts fre
quently go off half cocked.
Charles Law, a young Ohio farmer, would make a
poor navigator. After successfully holding up a bank
cashier and getting away with $4,000, he got*lost in a
cornfield at the edge of town and emerged from it near
the scene of his crime, when he was promptly captured
and placed in jaik
A new physical test is that of a New York firm ad
vertising for a night watchman who must fit the
uniform it has on hand.
Three Milwaukee veterans, representing respec
tively the Civil, Spanish-American and World wars,
fought with knives to settle the question as to which
accomplished most for the country. All three are in the
hospital at the Soldier’s Home and liquor is blamed for
the outbreak of hostilities.
George Bernard Shaw is reported as saying that he
is tempted to have cut his head off. Well, he should
know what is best.
If, as a writer suggests, women’s sentiments are ex
pressed by their clothes, they appear to be less senti
mental than formerly.
