THE WOODS AND WILD LIFE
“Human life is absolutely dependent upon wild life and
forests. Without these things we would become extinct
as a race.
“If all vegetation, all wild life, and all forests should
disappear tomorrow, the human race would become ex
tinct upon the face of the earth within one year.
“This is forest fire protection week. Read and heed.”
INDIA RUBBER MAN
Falling 15 stories would probably upset the appetite
of most persons for good. In the case of Guiseppe Zava
ranO'Of Brooklyn, who obeyed the law of gravity for that
distance recently, it had only a temporary effect. Two
days later he was able to take light nourishment consist
ing of a planked steak, French fried potatoes, four eggs,
sphaghetti, vegetables, chicken a la king, lobster salad,
mince pie and three cups of coffee, although suffering
somewhat from a deep scratch on his hand.
OLD PROVERBS BLASTED
And old proverb snvs that “lightning never strikes
in the same I lace A and there are those who claim that
another Klondike will not be discovered. Yet hardly a
week passes but some new gold strike is made in various
portions of the States. Lightning might not strike twice
in the same place, but a diligent prospector often strikes
it several times in the same region.
FARMERS CAN CELEBRATE
Regardless of the President’s veto of the McNarv?
Haughen bill, the Senate before adjournment passed a
measure for farm relief. It was in the form of a joint
resolution setting apart the first Thursday in October
each year as “Agricultural Day,” on which the farmers
may celebrate whatever they have to celebrate.

HEALTH FADDISTS
# Ole Buck says that by keeping yourself full of bran,
milk, carrots, spinach and other things recommended by
health faddists you will have no fear of death. On the
contrary, you will welcome it.
LINCOLN'S LITTLE JOKE
While there is some controversy regarding the orig
inality of Lincoln’s phrase, “government of the people,
by the people, for the people," it is pretty generally con
ceded that it was just another of his little jokes.
If Mrs. Snyder and Judd are acquitted they have an
excellent opportunity for engagements at Hollywood in
some of those “cerise passions" productions being turned
out by the mile and cut off as needed.
As the snow passes, Friend Husband may glance out
of the back door and by studying the tin cans discover
how many times Friend Wife slipped it over on him with
a canned dinner.
While glaring reports of fabolous gold strikes are
being reported, Alaskan mines are steadily producing the
“filthy lucre."’
Far fields always look green, so it can be expected
that some Alaskans will be leaving to take in the Republic
stampede.
