SUPPLEMENT EAST CLACK AM AS N E W S , A P R IL 15, 1920 REALLY NO NEED TO WORRY MASCOTS THAT WERE USEFUL But Then, You Know, Some Mothers Get So Worried Over th« Merest Trifles. British Regiment Adopted Two Cows, Which Accompanied Them Through out the Entire Campaign. Uncle Ben was a bachelor, but was full of enthusiasm for bis married friends, and when his brother-in-law i n v i t e d him to come and spend a few days and see his son and heir he gladly accept ed. It was an ed ucation to watch the old gentle man’s efforts to amuse the six-months-old child. Just for fun he would snatch its bottle away at feeding time and wonder why the youngster yelled. Then he would tickle It almost into convulsions. Finally he gave it his watch to play with. Then peace reigned. And thus the mother found baby and bachelor. “ Good gracious!” she exclaimed ex citedly. “ Look! Baby’s got the watch in his mouth. He’ll swallow it. Take it out or he’ll choke!” “ Don’t be alarmed,” replied Uncle Ben, smiling placidly; “ I’ ve got hold o f the chain. It can’t go fa r !” During their march through London a short time ago the Second Scots Guards were accompanied by two cows and many wondered why they were in tl»c procession. They were originally acquired by the regiment in 1015. when it was in Belgium, and remained with the bat talion through th e ‘ whole war. They were the means of supplying fresh milk to the officers and ser geants, and a special man was told off to act as cow keeper. It is said that one day their keeper, being behind the battalion and somewhat merry% dis posed of the animals to a farmer in exchange for a trill ng sum. When their loss was discovered there was a great uproar, and the keeper was punished by being sent back some thirty miles to repurchase the cows and bring them buck lo tin* battalion again. v It was found that the cows became very tame when they were on tlie march, and one member of the battal ion—-a blacksmith— determined to shoe them .. lie succeeded In doing this, hue it was a lengthy operat ion, occupy'ng nearly ten hours. When he had finished the animals were well shod, with iron plates r o v ing the whole foot. % "»These cows were perhaps the lar »ascots possessed by any British regi ment.— London Answers. Sure Enough. “ Nothing was ever settled by force,” said the pacifist. “ 1 don’t know about that.” replied a man in the audience. “ Force see^s to have brought Germany to time." Flock No Longer Put to Sleep By ‘Pulpit Voice’ of Preacher You wouldn’t think of applying th « word “ Jazz” to a church sermon. Y e t that bit o f modern slang la the word which most adequately describes the new manner and voice in whidh pulpit messages ere de livered. Jazzed music is fundament ally simple and easy to understand. And that Is also a description o f the modern sermon, f The old style minister, with his Intoning, rhetoric and oratory, too often talked over the heads of hi« congregation. He lulled them into Christianity and sleep at the same time. His sermons were apt to be complex and obscure. The modern minister presents his message in clear, concise English, and in a natural voice. He talks directly to his congregation and brings them to Christianity thor oughly wide awake. This change in pulpit method was uncovered In an Interchurch World Movement survey and Is one of thousands of Interest ing side lights disclosed In its work to bring th « Protestant churches Into closer co-operation. i Why the Electric Cleaner? There is really no comparison between the ease and thoroughness with which an Electric Cleaner removes dirt and the difficulty of sweeping. True, one C A N clean rugs and carpets wthout an electric cleaner. A broom or carpet sweeper will brush up S O M E of the dirt; and if you like the exercise and have plenty of time and strength a broom and a carpet beater will do the work after a fashion. 9 f 9 In the same way one can wash without soap Water alone will remove some dirt if applied with enough “ elbow grease.” , But people use soap because it cleans more easily and better than water alone. For the same reason people use Electric Cleaners because they clean mcie easily and far bttter than other methods. * E L E C T R IC S T O R E E L E C T R IC B U IL D IN G . t *‘MJY YCUR ELECTRIC GOODS Al’ AM ELECTRIC STOf'E.
